Bellagio Heist Update

Judge's son arrested in Bellagio robbery - News - ReviewJournal.com: "Las Vegas police late Wednesday arrested the son of a city judge in connection with December's $1.5 million Bellagio casino heist.

Anthony Michael Carleo, 29, the son of Las Vegas Municipal Court Judge George Assad, was arrested after he met undercover officers to sell high-value chips taken in the heist, law enforcement sources said.

Carleo was a guest at the very hotel he is accused of robbing in December, and police executed search warrants at both the hotel and at the home of the judge. No one answered the telephone in his room at the Bellagio on Wednesday night."

Wow, that Nevada foreclosure crisis is hitting everyone!

Also, I suppose if I'd bothered to read the article, I'd know this, but why do father and son have different last names?
