Jwyanza Chito, de 34 años, y Lenny Myers, de 45 años, robaron un casino en Cape Coral The two men accused of robbing a casino arcade in Cape Coral on Thursday appeared before a judge on Saturday morning. Jwyanza Chito, 34, is being charged with robbery with a firearm and robbery with a weapon. One of those charges comes from another suspected robbery. Chito’s bond is set at $80,000 for each charge totaling $160,000 dollars. Meanwhile, Lenny Myers, 45, is accused of robbery with a firearm and will be held on a $100,000 bond. If Chito and Myers make bond, they will both be required to wear a GPS monitor. Both Chito and Myers are accused of the Cape Coral robbery at the White Sands Arcade on Del Prado Boulevard S. Police say the two were also seen on surveillance video at a separate casino arcade in Cape Coral, but a robbery was thwarted when a patron warned an employee at the Coral Palace Arcade.

The prosecutor said the district attorney in Pennsylvania said Chito was released on his own recognizance for the case, but that they would be revoking his release. Chito spoke out during his first appearance hearing and asked the judge to lower his bond because he could not afford it. Chito said he worked as a truck driver and had to get back to work. Myers, prosecutors said, is also from Pennsylvania but has been a resident of Lee County for four years. Lenny Myers, 45. He asked the judge to be lenient because he hasn’t been in trouble for a long time. “Again, I haven’t been in trouble 10 years,” Myers said. Lee County Judge Archie B. Hayward said he was concerned for the community and the nature of the charge. “I made my decision in regards to that,” Hayward said. The two will next be in court on Aug. 8 at 8:30 a.m.
