It was just after midnight on a Friday morning in October when Jordan Kerr decided he no longer wanted to play blackjack at the Horseshoe Casino in Baltimore.
A supervisor approached, told him to step away from the table and asked to see his driver’s license, Kerr said, which he declined to do. Nothing new for a seasoned card counter.
But Kerr said that when he stood up and walked toward the exit, he was swarmed by security officers, leading to a tense standoff before he was taken to a back room.
Last month, Kerr filed a lawsuit over the incident, claiming security officers illegally detained him while they waited for police to arrive.
