The 35-year-old Caleb Rogers was found guilty by a federal jury on Friday, July 14, for committing three separate casino robberies and stealing a staggering sum of over $165,000.
True Crime Daily reported that the charges against him include three counts of interfering with commerce through robbery and one count of displaying a firearm during a violent crime. If convicted on the firearm charge, Caleb Rogers could potentially receive a life sentence.
