After deliberating, the jurors found Robert Reed, 51, of Newark, N.J., guilty of second-degree robbery, and third-degree charges of aggravated assault, and theft by unlawful taking, as well as fourth-degree unlawful possession of a weapon.<\/p>\n

When he\u2019s sentenced on July 18 by Superior Court Judge Dorothy Garrabrant, Reed could face between five and 10 years in prison, according to NJ.com, a regional news outlet.<\/p>\n

On March 3, Reed watched the would-be victim, identified in police reports as \u201cD.H.\u201d, win the money while both were at a poker table in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reed made friends with the man.<\/p>\n

Later, the next morning, he saw the winner while the two were checking out of a hotel at the gaming property.<\/p>\n

Reed claimed he just missed a bus and needed a ride to a local bus station. The jackpot winner agreed, and the two men began to walk to the winner\u2019s car which was parked in a casino garage.<\/p>\n

Struck With Wine Bottle<\/h2>\n

But on the way there, Reed struck the man in the head with a wine bottle, police said. He then stole the money and other items from the victim before fleeing, police added.<\/p>\n

The victim suffered cuts on his head<\/a> from the attack. They were not believed to be life-threatening.<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Jersey<\/a> police were alerted and were able to identify Reed as a suspect after reviewing casino surveillance video and through Reed\u2019s player\u2019s card.<\/p>\n

This week, Reed remains in custody at the Atlantic County Justice Facility.<\/p>\n

South Carolina Gambling Raid<\/h2>\n

A South Carolina man was arrested on 22 counts last week after a gambling raid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) charged Bruce Leon Moore, III., 25, with a single count of keeping a gaming house, as well as 21 counts of unlawful possession\/operation of a slot, video, vending machine, or gambling device on May 21.<\/p>\n

During the raid, authorities discovered five Pot-O-Gold-style gambling machines and two fish-style gaming machines, according to South Carolina TV station WSPA.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The reputed gambling operation was located in Greenwood, S.C.<\/p>\n

Moore was booked in the Greenwood County Detention Center and later was released from custody.<\/p>\n

The case was turned over to local prosecutors.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear if others will be charged in the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
