First off, don't try and rob a casino. Though it way seem like it'd be profitable, it's a you won't get rich, you'll just die trying type of crime. It's also incredibly stupid. Speaking of stupid, meet Michael Belton. The 24-year-old tried to rob the Bellagio in Vegas last May by pepper spraying the dealer and other gamblers in the high-stakes area, then grabbing as many chips as possible and fleeing on foot.
He managed to grab $115,000 worth of chips, but didn't get far. He was tackled and arrested almost immediately. Seems like he didn't spend enough time plotting an escape when planning the heist:
Even Belton would later admit that he is an idiot. Few would contest that, and he's lucky that his head didn't end up in a vice grip.
