Also, in April, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) officer accused in three Nevada gaming property holdups appeared in Nevada federal court. Caleb Mitchell Rogers, 33, pleaded not guilty in the federal cases stemming from the theft of about $164K.<\/p>\n
In one incident, Rogers is accused of a holdup of the Red Rock casino on Nov. 12, 2021. He allegedly robbed $73,810 from a cashier\u2019s cage. He is also accused of the robbery of the Aliante Casino in North Las Vegas on January 6. He allegedly stole $11,500 from that cashier\u2019s cage.<\/p>\n
On Feb. 27, Rogers allegedly stole about $78,898 from the Rio Casino Sportsbook. The money was eventually recovered and returned to the casino. Rogers allegedly threatened to shoot a Rio casino worker during the heist.<\/p>\n

Rogers was confronted by casino security guards on the pavement near a casino parking garage. Rogers then allegedly brandished his firearm and threatened a guard, police said. The guard clamped his hand around Caleb\u2019s gun, stopping Caleb from firing a round before grabbing the firearm from Rogers\u2019 hand. Other guards then tackled the suspect onto the pavement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The firearm used in the Rio robbery belonged to the LVMPD, based on the weapon\u2019s serial number. Rogers was suspended without pay from his LVMPD job.<\/p>\n
A federal grand jury indicted Rogers in March on three counts of interference with commerce by robbery and a single count of brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. If convicted, Rogers faces up to 20 years in prison for each count of interference with commerce by robbery. He also faces life imprisonment for brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence if convicted on that charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
