Standing front and center inside an otherwise nondescript seventh-floor courtroom in Las Vegas, dressed in camouflage pants and matching camo jacket, stood 61-year-old Brick Houston. On this day, he was facing charges and pleading for misdemeanor trespassing.
Houston has been in court — and arrested — dozens of times for crimes ranging from grand larceny to burglary to attempted forgery. He has done plenty of time behind bars. And, as far as this court hearing is concerned, enough of his crimes have been committed on or near the so-called Resort Corridor, that Houston is now banned from the Las Vegas Strip for six months.
