Is Joey Porter Really a Degenerate Gambler Deadbeat

TMZ.com this week posted a story on NFL superstar Joey Porter being a degenerate gambler and a deadbeat to boot. 

The popular website obtained court documents filed by the state of Nevada that show Porter allegedly wrote 8 checks to the Hard Rock casino between a two month period this past summer.  The checks, however, could not be cashed by the casino as Porter apparently placed a “stop payment” on all eight. 

Porter was later charged with check-bouncing with intent to defraud and theft, both of which are felonies. 

The checks were as follows: 

Check #1 -- $10,000

Check #2 -- $10,000

Check #3 -- $5,000

Check #4 -- $5,000

Check #5 -- $5,000

Check #6 -- $5,000

Check #7 -- $10,000

Check #8 -- $20,000

Porter was taken into custody last Friday during a routine traffic stop as he had a warrant out for his arrest.
