A woman who attempted to steal a man’s wallet may face 48 months in prison or 364 days in Douglas County Jail depending on whether she is convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor.
Alexis Cassandra Castillo, 32, admitted to larceny of a person Monday.
According to court documents, Castillo asked the victim to join her in the women’s restroom at the Harrah’s Casino in Stateline. She then called her boyfriend to come into the restroom and upon seeing the victim the boyfriend struck him in the face several times. While Castillo was leaving the restroom, she attempted to steal the victim’s wallet from his back pocket. In the police statements, Castillo claimed she feared the victim was going to sexually assault her, but the investigator indicated that her statements were inconsistent to prove that claim and the surveillance at the casino show a different story.
Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 24.
