Woman admits $2.9 million casino heist - GoFuckYourself.com

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP) -- A former armored car driver who turned herself in after more than a decade in hiding pleaded guilty Wednesday in a $2.9 million heist on the Las Vegas Strip.

Heather Tallchief, 33, surrendered in September in Las Vegas after living for years in Amsterdam under an assumed name. Her lawyers said she was tired of hiding and wanted her son to have a normal life.

Tallchief pleaded guilty to bank and credit union embezzlement and passport fraud. She could get up to 40 years in federal prison at sentencing March 2, but her lawyer, Robert Axelrod, said he was confident she would get no more than 10 years.

"She came here to admit her responsibility, to accept her responsibility and face the music," Axelrod said.

Tallchief acknowledged driving an armored car full of cash from the Circus Circus hotel-casino to a rented garage in 1993 and helping her boyfriend, Roberto Solis, load the money into another vehicle. The couple then fled the country.

Tallchief has said that Solis brainwashed her into committing the crime. Solis, an ex-convict and the father of Tallchief's son, remains a fugitive.

Axelrod told the judge that Tallchief does not know where the money is and has not seen Solis in 10 years.

Tallchief agreed to repay the stolen amount from any money she receives from book or movie deals.

News to me as well. and I am willing to bet that she gets 5 or 6 mil for the story.

EroticySteve · 12-01-2005, 11:50 AM

If no one was hurt, she agrees to repay the money stolen through a book or movie deal she should walk free. She did wrong and is willing to make up for it, she should face no time, espeically considering how long ago this happened.

It takes a big person to say "I f'ed up"

She did it backwards. I would have written the book / movie from a non extraditing country, then sent the casino a check with a note apologizing for my boyfriend robbing me while I was driving their truck! How dare he take advantage of me!

So that's how the system works?

EroticySteve · 12-01-2005, 12:25 PM

I think our legal system does little good for anyone other than to offer some security to the terminally insecure.

It's a fact that good people do bad things. Bad people also do bad things. Does a bad action make a good person bad?

The answer depends on what your definition of bad is. Manson = bad.

However there are plenty of people who screw up and don't admit it, try to pass the buck which in a way she's doing by blaming her boyfriend for "brainwashing" her. That's the only part of her coming clean that I think is bad.

Our legal system makes no determination for this.

However, if you put someone in Jail and allow their life to be irreversably disrupted they will most likely change and become a product of the system and be tied to it forever. Most good people who screw up deserve a second shot.

I don't know that she spent all of the money. She said that the guy ran off with the money and she hasn't seen him in years.

I think it was stupid to say she was brainwashed. She does admit her responsibilty.

It would save our courts and jails and our society from billions of dollars of expense annually if we could encourage people to fix the problems they get themselves into instead of finding ever clever excuse to not be convicted.

Just ponder the possiblity that maybe jail and the label of a felon may be more detrimental than allowing someone the opportunity for redemption.
