Man in Aberdeen Hotel Standoff Charged in Casino Robberies

ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) — A man involved in a 14-hour armed standoff with law officers at an Aberdeen hotel in March now faces robbery and accessory charges in armed holdups at two casinos in the city.

The American News reports that 37-year-old Gregory Two Hearts was indicted in March in the casino robberies that month and in January and formally served last week when he appeared in court on an unrelated aggravated assault charge. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney.

Two Hearts has not been charged in the March 18th standoff. It began when police wanted to question him about recent crimes and ended when they used tear gas to force him from a room.
