HANOVER, Maryland — (Associated Press) - Anne Arundel County police have arrested a man who confronted women at knifepoint at the Maryland Live! Casino.

After an investigation, police identified a suspect. Thirty-two Paul Johann Morin of Bowie was arrested Monday and charged with armed robbery, robbery, assault and other offenses.
