Man Gives Himself Up Two Years After Casino Robbery

Tags: casino heist, Dell Eugene Warfield III, robbery.
Posted on 11 February 2015 by "T".

A 24-year-old man recently turned himself in two years after robbing his former employer. The crime occurred in early 2013 at the William Hill Race & Sports Book Primm Vallet Resort and Casino in Stateline, Nevada.

According to LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, Dell Eugene Warfield III (picture) was off that day when he entered the casino wearing his work uniform and carrying a black bag stuffed with $5,307 in plastic-wrapped bundles, which were topped with $100 bills, but filled out with smaller notes. 

Warfield opened a safe containing $164,000 and exchanged it with the cash he'd brought with him. The incident was caught on tape, but the safe's alarm didn't go off since he knew the code. In addition, one of his colleagues, Aron Blackwell, witnessed the robbery. She told the police that Warfield appeared sweaty and nervous and that he struggled to open the safe.

"If he messed up one more time, the alarm would sound," Blackwell told police. "He joked with her that if the alarm went off, she did not see him."

It's unclear why Warfield gave himself up, where he was hiding and how much money was left from the heist. He's now facing charges of burglary and theft.

This has to be one of the stupidest thing I've ever read. "It's unclear why Warfield gave himself up, where he was hiding and how much money was left from the heist. He's now facing charges of burglary and theft." How much money was left from from the heist? What heist? 5307$? Left? After to years? I can't believe that someone can come up with a sentence like that.

I think it says he exchanged his bag with $5,307 for one containing $164,000. That should last you two years.

It sounds like he went into the place with $5307 of his own money,rolls of small bills with a $100 bill on the outside and exchanged the $164,000 from the safe to make it appear the money was still there.
Obviously very stupid as he was always going to be caught and his plans to evade the police forever were not thought out properly.

some people do get away with it
the fact that a stupid guy like this lasted 2 years proved my point
if you gonna commit crime , have plan
i guess he lived the last 2 years in fear and now he is facing more years in jail
for that pathetic $164,000 which he could have made working in the casino in less than the time he is facing

To give himself up after two years is very strange indeed. I reckon he could not take the guilt and was probably looking over his shoulder every minute and decided to take his medicine instead

Thats realy a very stupid thing to do, but what I am finding extremely encouraging about this story is the fact that this time someone robbed a casino. Normally its the other was round: the casinos are always robbing us.

I just found this story on the web, true that the guy robbed the casino and disappear for two years.

However when he give himself to the police he had no choice cause they new who was the robber and he had no more money.

The guy was a gambler and lost all the money and now facing jail time for about five years. Aww crap! Aww crap! Aww crap!

LMFAO!
Running out of money/drugs?
Free food, housing, medical care, and some picnic time while incarcerated.
Couldn't get any better for some people. They voluntarily choose to spend years behind bars.

u can run but u cannot hide always the reason for being crime convicted.while staying beyond bars reality for living is like a bunch of a hell.spending 2 years from prison is it enough to renew a person or it might be the same situation after all ??.... Worship Worship Worship

I can't imagine he's feeling guilty two years after robbing a casino.. Probably just paranoid, or somehow under pressure.
 CALICUL13/02/2015 11:51:01 GMT
omg this guy is a big mouth after two years when stealing money
 bowie198415/02/2015 22:02:12 GMT
This guy is an atipical casinorobber since he only went for a sum - let's just say - worth three times his yearly average pay I guess... So he is not only an idiot who couldn't pull this one of for at least a million or more, but getting caught after and doing jail at least 10-15 years for only this much money is truly makes him looser of the month.

By the way if I were some public relations official working currently at William Hill I would use this guy as the center of our next promotion - there isn't a better way popularize gambling then stories about effed up robberies and such - just look at the Ocean's Eleven movies. Plain and simple Vegas marketing.
