Delaware’s Division of Gaming Enforcement has arrested a woman accused of pistol whipping a man at the craps table in Dover’s Bally’s Casino.

Investigators say a man reportedly struck Jacklyn Twitchell in the face with money on March 14 at Bally’s. Twitchell then drew a handgun and hit the man in the face before leaving and refusing to cooperate with casino security, according to authorities. 

Gaming Enforcement says Twitchell, a former Bally’s employee, turned herself in to Delaware State Police on March 20. She taken to Sussex Correctional Institution in lieu of $26,000 cash bond on the following charges.

She has been charged with the following: 

  • Possession of a Deadly Weapon During the Commission of a Felony
  • Carrying a Concealed Deadly Weapon
  • ggravated Menacing

Delaware law does NOT specifically ban guns in Delaware casinos — but casinos themselves can (and usually do) prohibit them.  Bally's policy on weapons is not immediately known.
