RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - A Hot Springs man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for a string of casino robberies in Rapid City in 2015.
Fifty-one-year-old Ronald Swallow also was recently ordered to serve five years of supervised release and pay more than $27,000 in restitution. The Rapid City Journal (https://bit.ly/2jqlh3q ) reports Swallow also must pay a $200 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
Authorities say Swallow used a gun to threaten casino employees into giving him cash. The three casinos were held up over a six-week span.
Swallow eventually was caught in North Carolina and extradited to South Dakota to face charges.
