Casino debt case arraignment put back to Sept. 14

Arraignment was postponed in a $1 million casino debt case for a software designer who alleged Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons took bribes from a Reno-based defense contractor.

A court clerk said Monday that Dennis Montgomery's arraignment has been pushed back to Sept. 14.

Montgomery faces criminal charges that he failed to repay Caesars Palace for nine checks written in September 2008 for amounts ranging from $10,000 to $250,000.

In 2006, Montgomery alleged that Gibbons, while serving as a congressman, improperly received gifts and money from Montgomery's former business partner, eTreppid Technologies owner Warren Trepp.

Gibbons was never charged with wrongdoing, and was fully cleared in a federal probe.
