NAPLES, Fla. -- A former banker who allegedly wrote $1.4 million in bad checks to Las Vegas casinos was arrested in southwest Florida.

Carl Harnish, the former Naples branch president of U.S. Trust, was arrested on a fugitive warrant Monday.

He is charged in Las Vegas with nine felony counts of passing bad checks totaling $1.4 million, Las Vegas officials said.

The Clark County District Attorney's bad check unit issued a fugitive warrant for Harnish on Sept. 13.

Harnish wrote the nine bad checks on an account at First National Bank of Naples to Caesars Palace and Bally's casinos from October 2001 to January 2002, said Dan Bowman, the chief deputy district attorney in Clark County. All the checks topped $100,000 each.
