A robber was on the lam today after snatching a purse outside a casino.
At 3:05 p.m. Tuesday, a man pushed a woman to the ground in the parking lot of Ameristar, 4116 Washington St., and stole her purse valued at $75 and containing a cell phone valued at $100, police Capt. Bobby Stewart said.
The woman was not injured but could not provide a significant description of the robber who fled in a four-door silver car, Stewart said.
