"On May 9 in Las Vegas, Walker faces felony charges resulting from a series of 10 bad checks written to three casinos in 2008 and 2009. In an attempt to resolve the case, Walker had agreed to make installment payments to the casinos, but he has not made a payment in several months.
Time behind bars appears to be a certainty for Walker. In a nearly identical case last week in Las Vegas, a gambler who wrote a series of bad checks was sentenced to a prison term of 19 to 48 months. The severity of that sentence, according to Clark County assistant district attorney Bernard Zadrowski (who is also prosecuting Walker) was based on the gambler's pattern of refusing to pay debts other than the casino debts."

It would be a shame to throw the guy in prison and prevent him from earning money (and thus having the money to pay back his debts). As washed up as he may seem, the guy was a multiple all star and is still younger than a lot of players (KG and Ray included). Maybe they can fly Tommy out as a character witness.
