Lumiere donates $500,000 to St. Louis Police over 5 years

Wednesday, 20 February 2013 17:17 Published in Local News
A downtown St. Louis casino and its parent company, Pinnacle Entertainment is making a hefty donation to help with hot spot policing. Lumiere Place will give the St. Louis police half-a-million dollars over the next five years. They presented the donation to Police Chief Sam Dotson at a meeting Wednesday.
One man is in custody, two others are still at large after a rolling gun battle that ended in a crash in downtown St. Louis Wednesday afternoon.

Police believe the incident started about 4:30 p.m. at North Kingshighway and Natural Bridge Avenue when two men in a burgundy Ford Fusion fired shots at another car.

A short time later, police were called to North Broadway and Pine after shots were reported in the area. They arrived to find a silver car that had crashed, and bullet holes in the window of a nearby job placement center.

The 25 year old man who'd been driving the silver car was arrested. Police are still looking for the men in the burgundy Ford.
