Sorry folks, tried it from two different computers and it shows up. Dunno

HERRIMAN — Police arrested one man suspected of robbing a Wendover casino Thursday following a high-speed chase that reached speeds up to 120 mph.

Officers were still looking for a second suspected robber who jumped out of the car during the chase.

Investigators were piecing together clues from four different crime scenes connected to the case.

Details were sketchy. Police only said that two people robbed a Wendover casino about midnight. Officers caught up with the duo on I-80 in Tooele County when a chase began.

The driver threw something out of the window near milepost 90, just west of Stansbury Park, police said. Investigators were searching that area, believing that the item may have been the weapon used in the robbery.

The pursuit reached speeds of 120 mph at times, according to police. As the chase continued into Salt Lake County, the suspects' vehicle exited onto Bangerter Highway. That's when officers said they saw one person jump out of the car.

Police eventually arrested the driver after he turned onto a dead end street near 6500 West at 13400 South, then drove into a field. The FBI was processing the vehicle for evidence. Investigators were still searching for the person who jumped out of the car earlier.

The Utah Highway Patrol has scheduled a press conference for late Thursday morning to provide more information.

If the Rainbow had been robbed during Speed Week there would have been a volunteer posse that would have pursued the bandits at over 120mph....way over.
