Juan Ivan Gutierrez Zambrano, 32, pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal mischief — one count a low-level felony and the other a misdemeanor charge — in Gilpin County District Court.

A roulette dealer awaits customers at the Monarch Casino Resort Spa in Black Hawk on Sept. 11, 2020. A man who was paid to receive boxes of stolen cash in a $500,000 theft from Monarch Casino Resort and Spa in Black Hawk pleaded guilty Friday to his role in the largest Colorado casino theft in at least three decades.

Prosecutors offered to let him plead guilty to criminal mischief “for the purpose of equity from an immigration standpoint,” Chief Deputy District Attorney Brenna Zortman said in court Friday. Zambrano could be deported because of the convictions, but might not be, his attorney, Damon Brune, said during the hearing.

Her story changed within days, however, when she agreed to take a polygraph test on March 16, court records show. After the machine indicated she was lying, she “finally broke down and began crying and provided an entirely different account of what occurred,” investigators wrote in an affidavit. She then claimed that associates of her dead ex-husband “forced her to engage in the theft after levying threats against her family members,” the affidavit reads.

An arrest warrant for a third suspect has been issued but is sealed, said Brionna Boatright, a spokeswoman for the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office.Eddy is charged with two felony counts of theft. Her jury trial is expected to last five days.
