A man robbed a casino in Montana, then went to a nearby casino to gamble where he was later arrested, police said, according to a report kbzk.com.

Authorities allege that George Leon Goodrie robbed the Emerald City Casino in Great Falls on Saturday and then drove in a stolen pickup truck to another casino in order to play the machines. Police showed up at the casino and arrested him while he was at a machine.

The 42-year-old is facing charges for robbery and theft, both felonies.

He also allegedly provided false identification to police, but, thanks to surveillance video at Emerald City Casino, he was identified and taken into custody.

The case is similar to one a couple of years ago in Pennsylvania, in which a gambler put his session on hold in order to rob a bank, only to resume gambling at a nearby casino shortly after the robbery.
