Little Creek Casino Armed Robbery Suspect arrested after multi-aging investigation
The authorities say they have caught the man who, according to them, stole Little Creek Casino in Kamilche last week, and they give credit to what they call an extraordinary team effort between several law enforcement organizations.
“Thanks to a joint investigation with Lewis County Narcotics Task Force (Jnet), Thurston County Narcotics Task Force (TNT), HSI, FBI, Kent PD, Squaxin Island PD and MCSO, the suspect of the armed flight of the Casino de Little Creek was arrested this evening of Kent”.

Investigators say that the same man is also suspected of “additional casino flights and theft of emergency equipment for a Centralia fire service”. Officials have credited “the sure apprehension of the suspect” to the cooperative work of all the agencies involved.
The arrest occurred just a few days after the August 9 incident, when a man entered the casino supervisor around 11:24 am, released a handgun and demanded money. The sheriff’s office says that when he was told that there was no money in the box, he fled to the highway 101.
Witnesses at the time described him as a Hispanic in the twenties in the early 1930s, about 5 7 inch feet with a smaller construction. He wore a gray or dark flannel shirt all along, dark gray pants, dark “Romeo” boots, a light gray hat with a white Nike logo, sunglasses and a transparent plastic glove on his right hand.
Investigators believe that arrest could help resolve other unresolved cases. After the flight of Little Creek, people on social networks suggested that he could also be the man who stole the Silver Reef casino in the county of WhatCom on August 3. Others have underlined the recent flight of hydraulic rescue tools, often called “Jaws of Life”, from the Riverside Fire Authority to Centralia.
The Tribal Casino is located north-west of Olympia near the Olympic National Park and offers more than 750 slot machines, 28 table games, a hotel, an RV park, a spa, a golf course and several restaurants.
Officials did not publish the suspect’s name or details on the accusations he could face.
