Usually after you win money from a night of gambling you celebrate. Well one elderly man recently had little to celebrate when he was robbed after a night of luck at the video poker machines at his local Tavern.

A Sixty two year old man was playing video poker at a local Tavern in Sheboygan when he won a nice amount of money. He was befriended by a twenty six year old woman after he won the money on the video poker machine. The woman then offered to walk the man home and they left together near midnight.

As the two were walking the man was confronted by a twenty four year old man who beat him up and took his cash. The young man ran away and police later figured out the young man is most likely the boyfriend of the twenty six year old woman.

The names have not been released of those involved or how much money was stolen from the elderly man. The police have obtained a search warrant to the young couple’s home and both have been arrested.
