Authorities in Washington arrested a suspect who is accused of robbing two men who won about $5,000 at the casino owned by the Tulalip Tribes.

The men were robbed at gunpoint early Sunday morning by someone who was also at the Quil Ceda Creek Casino and heard about the winnings. The incident took place off the reservation but a tribal officer obtained a surveillance image of the suspect and sent it to local police agencies.

The 32-year-old suspect was positively identified by the victims and was found with a large amount of cash. He is being held in Snohomish County Jail on armed robbery charges.
