Tavon White, 28, of Newark, Del., was charged with second-degree assault and criminal mischief last Friday morning at Delaware Park Casino in Wilmington, Del.<\/strong><\/p>\n

White and the victim got into a struggle at about 2:30 a.m. when White allegedly punched the other man in the face after an argument escalated into violence.<\/p>\n

Serious Injuries<\/h2>\n

The victim suffered what State Police described as \u201cserious injuries.\u201d There were no details on any wounds or injured body parts.<\/p>\n

He was rushed to a local hospital for treatment. Police didn\u2019t have details on the victim\u2019s updated condition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

White wasn’t injured in the fight. He was booked at Delaware\u2019s Howard R. Young Correctional Institution with bail set at $10,500.<\/p>\n

Horseshoe Casino Visitor Robbed<\/h2>\n

A man was robbed<\/a> this past weekend while in the parking garage at Horseshoe Casino Baltimore<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The victim was in the stairwell on the second floor of the garage when he was accosted by two men who then robbed him, according to Baltimore TV station WBAL<\/em>.<\/p>\n

They were armed, had on masks, hoodies,\u201d the victim said. \u201cThey asked me to take everything out of my pockets. I had no problem doing so. Specifically, they took my car keys and wallet,\u201d Justin added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There\u2019s no word on how much cash was in the wallet at the time.<\/p>\n

The bandits also attempted to steal his car, but for some reason couldn\u2019t figure out how to start the engine, WBAL<\/em> reported. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The victim immediately contacted casino security guards to report the holdup. They in turn contacted Baltimore police.<\/p>\n

Baltimore police officers are continuing to search for the robbers.<\/p>\n

Nothing is Worth His Life<\/h2>\n

In retrospect, the victim was happy he wasn\u2019t injured.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first thing in my head is, nothing in my pockets is worth my life,\u201d Justin told WBAL<\/em>. \u201cYou can take whatever, as long as I don’t get shot. Do what you have to do. Everything is replaceable — my life isn’t though.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
