A federal grand jury has indicted two men, Benjamin Michael-Dass Charles, 22, and Hollis Cortez Vanleer, 20, in connection with the robbery of the Isle of Capri Casino in Boonville, Missouri. They are accused of stealing $1.28 million on March 25 while armed. According to court documents, the pair took the money from the main cash drawer after a patron tackled one of them; the patron was then hit before the robbers fled in a Ford Taurus. The vehicle was later abandoned, and a receipt found inside led investigators to Charles, a casino employee, who was arrested the next day. Vanleer was apprehended months later in Illinois. Both face multiple federal charges, including conspiracy and robbery affecting commerce, and Charles is being held on a significant bond.
