Suspect in Las Vegas Strip resort standoff a fugitive in Colorado kidnapping case, authorities say
- A man accused of instigating a hostage standoff and throwing furniture out of a broken 21st-floor window at Caesars Palace on the LasA judge set bail at $750,000 for Matthew John Ermond Mannix, 35, of Golden, Colorado. But even if he posts bail, Mannix would remain jailed - at least until a Thursday morning hearing on the warrant from his home state.
Marissa Pensabene, a deputy public defender temporarily representing Mannix for his initial court appearance, said afterward that she didn't know if he could post the $750,000 bail. Police said in his arrest report that Mannix claimed he had a gun and threatened to shoot security officers if they tried to enter a room where he had allegedly pulled the woman inside by force. The woman announced through the door to police that Mannix had a knife, police said, and Mannix allegedly taunted police by opening and closing the door and announcing that he had “a magazine full of” bullets.
No other injuries were reported during or after the standoff in the 29-story tower of the flagship Caesars Entertainment Inc. property at the heart of the LasBoulevard resort corridor. The tower is one of six at Caesars Palace, which has nearly 4,000 rooms.
