The plan, according to Fox 19, was for Belton to steal as many $5000 chips from the high-rollers table as possible. A man, identified only as Carlos, would distract the dealer by spraying pepper-spray in his face. Belton was then to bring the chips to Carlos Rodriguez, the mastermind behind the scheme, who would then cash in the chips.
Well, shortly after Carlos #1 sprayed the dealer with pepper spray, both men were tackled by security guards. Belton managed to grab 23 $5000 chips. But he was only able to make it a few steps away from the Blackjack table.
The 24-year-old told police that he had met Carlos Rodriguez through Craigslist and had agreed to the heist because he was broke and unemployed. Police said that a Carlos Rodriguez was checked into the Mandalay Bay hotel but police have not been able to track him down yet.
