Brandon Barber, the once high-flying Northwest Arkansas developer whose business imploded in a $47 million bankrtupcy, was booked into the Washington County Jail last night on a hold from Clark County, Nevada, Arkansas Business reports. Clark County is where you find Las Vegas and casinos. Barber’s bankrtupcy filing included outstanding debts to some of Las Vegas’ priciest, Bellagio and Venetian. Is the arrest related? Unknown at this moment.

UPDATE: Yup, alleged hot checks to cover casino markers.
