Evidence in the case revealed that in the third robbery, Rogers brandished his service firearm and threatened to shoot casino and security employees. Rogers, who turned out to be an officer with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.Ī judge this week sentenced Rogers, 33, to 12 years in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release.
The robbery, detailed in federal court documents, was the first in a trio of brazen casino heists over the next three months totaling $164,000 and ending with the arrest and conviction of Caleb M. Nobody got a good look at his face, but when authorities reviewed the security camera footage, they noticed the man had an unusual gait, appearing to kick out his left foot as he walked. The robber stuffed the money – mostly $100 and $20 bills – into a bag hidden in his jacket and left. The cashier was terrified that he’d begin shooting, so she handed him almost $74,000 in cash. Wearing dark clothing, black latex gloves and a mask over his face, he walked up to the cashier’s cage and demanded money, his hand tucked into his pocket as if he was concealing a weapon. The mysterious man pulled up outside the Red Rock Resort and Casino in a pickup truck covered with trash bags.
