It’s a roll of the dice, and a gutsy move to run into one of the most popular casinos in the world and run out with more than $1.5 million in chips. It’s like something you would find in a movie. Instead, it happened in real life back in December.  Police believe the man under the motorcycle helmet is the son of a Las Vegas Municipal Court Judge.  Anthony Carleo, 29,will appear in court today on felony armed robbery and burglary charges.

Las Vegas Metro police believe Carleo wore a motorcycle helmet and darted into the posh Bellagio casino, brandished a gun, went directly to a specific craps table and ran out with the chips. Eye witnesses said he jumped onto his motorcycle and sped off onto the Vegas strip, heading westbound. Authorities indicate it only took 2 – 3 minutes for the suspect to commit this crime.

WHERE IS JEAN PAUL LACOMBE? POLICE SAY HE WAS ABDUCTED AT HIS BUS STOP

Jean Paul Missing

Jean Paul Missing

This case was running through my mind this morning.  I was searching through my files and the date December 18, 2009 popped up.  That was the last time I brought you the case of Jean Paul who was taken illegally from his bus stop.  Since then, a grand jury issued a felony indictment for the felony offenses of kidnapping, aggravated perjury and interference with child custody against his father, Jean Philippe Lacombe.

Investigators say Jean Paul Lacombe was abducted by his non-custodial father, Jean Philippe Lacombe, on October 15, 2009 in San Antonio, Texas.  Lacombe allegedly gave the court invalid Mexican Documents to overturn the case, and the judge gave him custody.  Lacombe was supposed to show back up for a court hearing on Monday, October 19, 2009, but instead he fled with his son.

HISTORY OF CUSTODY

Cliff Herberg with the Bexar District Attorney’s office in Texas says there are 1,400 pages pertaining to this case that have accumulated over the years in Mexican court.  He has not had a chance to review every single page, but Mr. Herberg was able to provide a timeline and background of custody between the parents.

 2003:  Divorce proceedings began 

2004:  Divorce is finalized, and both parties agree Jean Paul will live with his father, and his mother will have “extended access” meaning she would still see her son on a daily basis by picking him up from school, taking him home, eating dinner with him.
