"Crime Stoppers is invaluable in this incident. We received over a dozen tips regarding that suspect. Everyone of the tips gave us the same name - Florencell James Jones."

Jones was arrested in connection to an attempted casino robbery Monday night.

"Based on our findings and our visit with Mr. Jones, he was arrested for robbery in the second degree for his role in that incident at the Rice Street Casino."

Jones is also facing drug possession charges. Police found meth inside his vehicle upon his arrest.
