Police have a man in custody today
who they suspect in the 60-thousand dollar robbery of Tunica`s
Grand Casino.
Thirty two year old Kevis Wilson of Walls, Mississippi, is being
held on 250-thousand dollars bond after his arrest in the September
robbery.
Police say that a suspect placed a package on the counter of the
cashier`s cage, claiming there was a bomb inside and fled with
cash.
The package, checked by the Memphis police bomb squad, was found
to contain a honey bun. The threat of a bomb closed the casino for
more than seven hours while investigators searched for an explosive
device.
None was found.
