Jason Killinger is now suing the city of Reno, Nevada, after he was misidentified by AI and wrongfully arrested at the Peppermill casino.

Killinger had been flagged by the venue’s AI facial recognition software, with its “100% match” claiming that he had been previously banned for sleeping at the premises.

Bodycam footage of the arrest showed Killinger protesting his innocence after he was misidentified as Michael Ellis. He eventually sued Reno Police Officer R. Jager and the casino, with court filings revealing he had spent 11 hours in custody, with four hours being spent in handcuffs.
