DEADWOOD - A man who injured a Deadwood casino worker when he grabbed her purse and ran may be going to prison for 20 years or more.
Jurors in Lawrence County have found Dennis Collis of Worthington, Missouri, guilty of robbery and grand theft. He is to be sentenced on December 13.
Authorities say Collis has earlier convictions for burglary, and he could get more than 20 years behind bars if he also is found to be a career crook.
The purse snatcher was collared by the cops with the help of a passing motorist who used a cell phone to help them capture him.
