A white man accused of robbing a Strip casino in blackface in January was charged Friday in federal court, records show. Cameron James Kennedy, 26, was charged with robbery in the armed holdup of a casino cage at New York-New York, according to the U.S. Department of Justice and a federal criminal complaint filed last week. The Las Vegas man already was under federal supervision on prior bank robbery charges when he allegedly cut off his GPS monitoring bracelet and robbed the casino in the early morning of Jan. 10, according to the complaint. Kennedy used makeup to appear black, Las Vegas police said. On Jan. 18, an anonymous tipster told investigators that Kennedy robbed the casino.
