A Michigan man was sentenced to nearly 15 years in federal prison for robbing a patron who won money at a casino owned by the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe.

Antoine McCaskill, 32, met the victim at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort. After offering the man a ride, McCaskill drove him to a secluded area of the reservation, assaulted him and stole more than $2,000.

A federal jury found McCaskill guilty last September. He was sentenced to 175 months in prison and two months of supervised release on Thursday.

The victim was a member of the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe.
