Charges Dropped Against Man Misidentified in Casino Heist

A federal judge has dismissed charges against a man incorrectly identified as someone who picked up the keys from a kiosk to commit a $200,000 robbery at the Wind Creek Montgomery casino in Alabama last week.

Jory D'Michael Travunn Dumas and Timothy Dean Pettiway were arrested Tuesday after allegedly stealing the cash from two machines they accessed with keys an employee left atop a kiosk on Aug. 10.

Dumas, a former employee of the casino who was fired for theft last year, could still be charged at a later date after being misidentified while Pettiway, who is Dumas' uncle, was denied bond due to his extensive criminal history.

The U.S. Attorney's Office offered video surveillance footage from multiple casino cameras to establish probable cause against Pettiway.
