A Florida resident was charged on Tuesday for following a poker player from a Dania Beach casino to the victim’s Miami apartment building. That’s where he robbed him, according to Miami-Dade police.
Alejandro Eugenio Arguello, 35, of Plantation, first assaulted the man, then pulled out a firearm before he ordered the victim to hand over $50K worth of gaming chips and four checks totaling another $78K, authorities said.
Arguello quickly fled with a bag containing the chips and checks, police said. A second suspect also took part in the robbery, authorities believe.
The victim, identified during court proceedings simply as “Dan,” wasn’t seriously injured during the holdup. He was able to notify Miami-Dade police about the heist, telling them he had been at the Casino at Dania Beach earlier that night.
