Kelso man caught stealing $25K in casino poker chips

RIDGEFIELD, Wash. (AP) — A Kelso man who’s banned from a casino in southwest Washington is accused of stealing $12,500 in chips.

Police say Lucas Bunn entered the Ilani Casino Resort Tuesday while disguised in a gray wig and construction vest.

Authorities were later advised that a man was in the casino’s high limits area using a drill to break into the chips table.

Documents say he ran when approached by security, but was arrested nearby. Officers found a grinder and 25 of the casino’s $500 chips in his possession. Bunn was arrested on suspicion of burglary and theft.
