Las Vegas cop sent to prison for armed casino heists

Tuesday's sentence for a Las Vegas Metro Police officer who was found guilty in July of robbing off-strip casinos was twelve years. Between November 2021 and February 2022, he committed three casino robberies at the Red Rock Resort, Aliante Hotel, and Rio casino, totaling $165K.

Rio personnel were able to subdue him and take away his weaponry during the robbery on February 27, 2022, which resulted in his arrest.

The thug had threatened to shoot employees of Rio Sportsbook if they did not give in to his demands for money. He threatened to use a weapon on security guards outside before being taken down. It was the revolver that came with his job.
