SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - The South Dakota Supreme Court has upheld the conviction of a man who robbed a casino in Aberdeen.

Thirty-six-year-old Roger Kihega sought an acquittal, new trial or new sentencing for his 2015 conviction. Kihega was sentenced in 2015 to 50 years in prison for robbing the Casino Korner with another man. The Aberdeen American News reports the two men stole $4,600 after both fired gunshots in the air. No one was injured.

Another man was charged in the case for being the getaway driver.
