PLAINS TWP. - A Hazleton man accused of leaving a loaded firearm in a men's room at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs casino pleaded guilty to a reduced charged on Thursday.
Anthony Mope, 80, of Thirwell Street, pleaded guilty to a summary charge of disorderly conduct during a preliminary hearing before District Judge Diana Malast.
State police gaming enforcement unit withdrew a reckless endangerment charge against Mope.
According to the criminal complaint:
A casino employee cleaning restrooms found a firearm on the back of a toilet at about 3:40 p.m. on July 3.
State police said the firearm, a .45-caliber, had a full magazine with a round in its chamber. The firearm was traced by its serial number to Mope.
A trooper obtained a picture of Mope, who was located near the casino's food court at about 5 p.m.
Mope told state police he used the men's room and removed the firearm from its holster. He placed the firearm on the back of a toilet, and forgot it when he left the restroom, the criminal complaint says.
State police said a review of players club information revealed Mope playing slot machines in the area of the restroom. He was recorded by surveillance cameras entering the men's room at 2:31 p.m. and exiting three minutes later.
Surveillance cameras recorded 28 people entering the men's room from 2:34 p.m. to 3:40 p.m. when a casino employee found the firearm, according to the criminal complaint.
State police said in the criminal complaint that the firearm could have been picked up by anyone who found it, including a person not permitted to possess a firearm.
Mope told state police he was unaware that firearms are prohibited in casinos.

Re: Man charged for leaving firearm in casino's restroom
Well not like this hasn't happened before, hell there was that Easton cop that left his service revolver in the bathroom at Outback on 33
BUT that being said, how in god's name does anyone 'forget' they put their gun on the back of the toilet? I mean seriously, first off, you turn around to flush ... don't you see the gun? Secondly how can you FORGET YOU HAVE A GUN WITH YOU?
I guess they are right, stupid is as stupid does and personally I think any charge the throw at his is justified, idiot

Re: Man charged for leaving firearm in casino's restroom
Maybe that stall had one of those funky 3D posters in it and the guy just got distracted. I'd say it's the fault of the Casino.
Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,
all you get is ridicule, laughter,
and a trip to the house of pain.
