GARY — A man with a tattoo of an assault rifle is accused of setting a dollar on fire at the Majestic Star Casino while yelling his affiliation to ISIS, according to court records.

The incident happened about 10 a.m. July 7 at the casino located in Gary. Larry D. Buchanan Jr., 33, of Gary, was charged this week with three counts of intimidation, resisting law enforcement and disorderly conduct. He remained Friday in Lake County Jail.

Surveillance video shows casino workers and patrons fleeing as Buchanan made his way to the craps tables, according to court records. Witnesses told police they heard Buchanan yelling that he was going to meet his God.

When officers found Buchanan, he wasn’t wearing a shirt, had his pants pulled down to expose his buttocks and was burning a dollar, according to the affidavit.

He yelled that he was ISIS and at one point told security officers, “You (expletive) are about to see the strength of God,” according to the affidavit. He told officers that the initials on his back, which also had a tattoo of an AK-47 assault rifle, stood for assassin.

He later told police he was upset his brother was fired from the casino. He was also unhappy with his mother’s working conditions at the business.
