YREKA, Calif. March 15, 2022 –

Yreka PD says that a man walked into the casino around eleven o’clock AM on March 12th, armed with a shotgun, and demanded to be shown surveillance footage of a past event.

Casino management led the suspect off the casino floor so that security could quickly evacuate people out of the building according to police. No one was injured.

Law enforcement from several agencies arrived and took the suspect, Billy Sontag into custody without any shots being fired.

Sontag is facing multiple charges. They include armed robbery, felony burglary, kidnapping, and illegally carrying a loaded weapon.

Police say everyone is safe and report no injuries.

Rain Rock Casino will be closed until March 15th to give their staff some much-needed rest.
