JUDGE GEORGE ASSAD'S SON GUILTY OF BELLAGIO HEIST

THE HEIST
ASSAD
OCEAN'S 11 it most certainly wasn't.
Instead Anthony Michael Carleo, the son of high profile former Las Vegas judge, George Assad used a classic stick up technique in the infamous Bellagio Hotel.   Back in November lawmen were left astonished by the thief's nerves of steel as
he walked up to the craps table in one of the most heavily guarded casino's in the World and pulled out a gun, before helping himself to the chips.
He walked out a millionaire. 
At the time Sin City Police commented that the robbery which took around three minutes was: "about as quick as you can do it."
Carleo,  a former real estate broker and student who declared bankruptcy in Colorado in May 2009, owing nearly $188,000 in various debts.
The 29-year-old apologized and told a Nevada judge he was "very foolish" for scooping chips from the craps table and pointing a handgun at a valet before jumping on a motorcycle and speeding away on a motorbike.
Then he pleaded guilty to felony armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon charges that prosecutor Chris Owens said could get him three to 36 years in state prison.
Assad declined to comment.

IDIOT BOYFRIEND WHO TAPED UP TODDLERS JAILED

FATHER OF THE YEAR
HE really needs some lessons in childcare.
Jonathan Weaver really wanted to watch the basketball game, but he was also supposed to be looking after his girlfriend's children, while she went to night school. So what did he do?
Well he got out some tape, bound, gagged and hooded the toddlers aged one and two and left them in the car seat in the garage of their Las Vegas apartment.Cops were called after a passerby heard the terrified children crying and after firefighters cut open the garage door they found the two toddlers in car seats, their hands bound with a white rope or twine that also wrapped around their necks.
A piece of clothing was stuffed in both boys' mouths and a shirt was pulled over the younger child’s face, police told the Las Vegas Sun.

The children were immediately taken to an area hospital.

Weaver, 22,  apologized to the court saying: "It was horrible. I am truly sorry for what I have done."
He pleaded guilty in January to two counts of child abuse and the use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a crime.
Judge James Bixler summed up most people's thoughts on the case calling Weaver's actions: "stupid" 
He said: "I can't imagine anything that would be more frightening."
Despite Weaver's criminally bad judgment, he will be eligible for parole next month because he has already served nearly two years in the Clark County jail, according to the judge in the case.
