Search ongoing for attempted casino robber
Police are on the lookout for a man accused of attempted robbery.
Rapid City officers responded to the East North Casino just around 1:45 a.m. on August 2. A casino employee says a man came inside to ask for a beer but was not served due to his lack of identification. The employee says the man left the building, only to return minutes later with a knife, demanding money. The employee did not comply.
Police were not able to locate the man, but he is described by witnesses as a clean-shaven Native American male in his mid to late 20’s, 6’0”, wearing a black baseball hat, black t-shirt, and blue shorts. Witnesses say he also had the letters 'FOE' tattooed on the right side of his neck.
Anyone with information on the suspect or the incident is encouraged to contact police investigations at 394-4134 or they can send an anonymous tip by texting 'RCPD' and the information to 847411.
