Casino thief sentenced to 17 years

An American judge has just sentenced a man who robbed a casino, threatening the lives of unlucky bystanders in the process, to more than 17 years in the federal prison.

UsS District Judge Richard Cebull sentenced 42 year old Jeffrey Lyle Schlepp, from Billings, Montana, to 17 years and 3 months in prison, as well as fining him $135.

Schlepp had previously pleaded guilty in April to the offence of robbing Sam’s Place on 11th June 2005. Altogether he was charged with interfering with interstate commerce by robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, being a felon in possession of a firearm and using a firearm in a crime of violence.

He had entered the casino at 1.47am, took out a short-barrelled shotgun and demanded money. He also smashed ashtrays and shouted; “I’ll kill you, I swear to God.”

He escaped from the casino with his haul of $905, yelling that he would kill anyone who watched him leave. Police managed to track down the getaway vehicle from witnesses’ descriptions. His companion, Hope Rathbun, admitted that she had conspired with Schlepp to rob the casino and was sentenced to two and a half years in prison. Schlepp was found in a motor home where he showed police where the loot was hidden. The shotgun was also found in the home, but Schlepp claimed that it had been empty when the crime took place.
