Pair arrested after armed robbery at Douglas County casino

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Nev. - Two men have been arrested as suspects in a Douglas County casino armed robbery. On Friday, July 14 at 4:57 a.m., two suspects entered the C.O.D. Casino in Minden, Nev., and were able to get away with an undisclosed amount of cash. Casino employees immediately called 911.

A deputy from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) located and made contact with the suspect vehicle in a nearby neighborhood.

A second suspect, Chase Henderson, 33, of Minden, was located hiding under some plywood in the yard of another residence on County Road. Both suspects were arrested and booked into the Douglas County Jail in Minden.

Henderson is being charged with Robbery with a Deadly Weapon, Attempted Homicide of an Officer, and Battery on an Officer. Toomey is charged with Robbery with a Deadly Weapon.

Carson City Sheriff’s Office is assisting DCSO in the investigation.

Both men are currently in the Douglas County Jail with no bail.
