Solomon Evans Jr., 54, of Sauk Village, Ill., and a second unnamed man followed the victim from a Gary, Ind. gaming venue to her South Bend residence on Sept. 7, according to WBND<\/em>, a local TV station.<\/p>\n

She left the car to go into her house when\u00a0Evans and the second man approached the victim. One of the suspects brandished a firearm, South Bend police said.<\/p>\n

The duo then stole two rings from her, police added. The rings were valued at $91,000 and $88,000. The bandits also swiped about $40,000 in cash. The robbers then fled the scene in a truck.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The incident began when the duo started to watch her win the money on the casino floor before tailing her home, reports said.<\/p>\n

One Suspect Behind Bars<\/h2>\n

Evans was later identified by police. He was arrested on a warrant and booked in the St. Joseph County Jail on Sept. 13. His bail was set at $100,000.<\/p>\n

He is charged with armed robbery and robbery resulting in bodily injury, according to online jail records. The second suspect appears to still be at large.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When speaking with police, Evans confirmed he was at the casino. But he claimed he drove to South Bend to pick up a dog. The dog\u2019s owner was not home, so Evans left the city, he told authorities.<\/p>\n

News reports did not identify the name of the casino.<\/p>\n

Online Sports Apps<\/h2>\n

Hard Rock Northern Indiana<\/a> launched online sports betting apps earlier this month. The casino, owned by Hard Rock International, a Florida-based gaming company, engages players with an approach that integrates online play and in-person experiences.<\/p>\n

Beyond Indiana, a Hard Rock Sportsbook app is available in Tennessee, Arizona, Iowa, New Jersey, and Virginia. The Seminole Tribe of Florida owns Hard Rock.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
