NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Police Department has named a suspect in an attack and robbery that happened inside the bathroom of a casino. The case is the latest one to roll on the Wheel of Justice.
Police say the attack happened at about 5:15 in the morning on December 12. They say that a gambler at Harrah’s went into a bathroom at the casino to count his winnings. That’s when, according to police, a man grabbed the gambler from behind and slammed him against a toilet then took the victim’s money.
Initially police released a photo of the man who they said was responsible for the attack, but they did not know his name. This week, officers released the name of a suspect along with another photo.
Police say 36-year-old Brandon Irvin is responsible for the attack. They say he left the scene in a white minivan.
