MISSOULA - A 25-year-old man accused of robbing a casino with an air pistol has been charged after police say they found his name on a bus ticket left at the scene.

Blake Davis was charged with felony counts of assault with a weapon and robbery for allegedly attacking a clerk and stealing about $300 from Diamond Jim's Casino on May 26th. Court documents state that the California man lost his shirt in the altercation.

Detectives say they found the bus ticket in Davis' shirt pocket along with a scrap of paper with a list of names and telephone numbers. Court documents state that they called the numbers and learned Davis was visiting Missoula when the robbery occurred.

He was arrested last week in Great Falls and is being held at the Missoula County jail.
