A casino clerk is lucky she wasn't hurt late last night after being held at knife point by a robber.

It happened at the Paradise Casino at 5109 West 12th street about 11:30 last night.

Police say the white male had went into through the back door of the casino and after pulling a small knife and grabbing the clerk around the neck, he took money out of the till.

The suspect then held the clerk and pulled her to the back door where he threw her to the floor before he ran off.

The suspect is described as a White Male, 5'4" to 5'8" tall, 130 to 140 pounds. Suspect was wearing blue and white checked shorts, a dark colored sleeveless t-shirt with a Puma logo, dark hi-top tennis shoes and a white knit stocking hat with a large blue stripe around it.

The suspect fled westbound on foot.

If you have any information, call police.

That is too funny...when I looked at his picture, I thought to myself, "Hmmm...pretty fashionable for a robber." Guess I might need the fashion police myself! :)

Heck the fashion police should have pulled him over before he ever got to the casino! Guess you can judge some books by their covers.

Check for him at Savers. By the photos on the other news sites, looks like he bought his wardrobe from the bargain bin there.
