In late November a dealer at the Golden Nugget Casino in Lake Charles was arrested for stealing $1,000 worth of casino chips during her shift.
Cindy Thompson was jailed in the Calcasieu Parish Correctional Center and she is currently charged with felony theft. She was caught on surveillance camera during a work period taking chips and sliding them into her work apron multiple times. After she had taken the chips she then went out to the L’Auberge Casino Resort, where she tried to exchange her Golden Nugget chips with the L’Auberge chips.
After she was caught, Golden Nugget security held her until Louisiana State Police picked her up. She was then interviewed, where she admitted to stealing the chips, placing them into her apron and then revealing to police where she hid them.
Thompson is still incarcerated as she has a bond set at $5,000.
