Street-performer brothers on Las Vegas Strip accused of robbery
LAS VEGAS >> Two brothers who pose for photos for money on the Strip are accused of robbing a tourist.
The Las Vegas Sun reported that Leonard and Rashad Richardson face one count each of robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.
The siblings regularly appear on the Strip only wearing camouflage pants and take pictures for tips.
According to charging documents, they approached a woman and her friend Aug. 28.
The woman says the men demanded $20 after taking two photos and one grabbed her by the arm when she tried to walk away after paying $10.
She told police she felt coerced.
Police later arrested them.
The brothers are released on bail and set to appear in court in December.
Police say they are closely monitoring street performers.

Who would want to take pictures with these bozo’s anyway.
agree…makes no sense. But Vegas is a scary, unpredictable, nonsensical place.
Jerks, all tweaked-up.
GET A JOB. Even the homeless there takes what’s given to them. They don’t “demand” anything.
Given that their business revolves around taking pictures, one might have hoped for one to accompany this story. But maybe the brothers were asking too much for it.
Their African-American what point is it that you are trying to make? Let me guess, you are physically scared by African-Americans, you keep losing girlfriends to African-Americans, African-Americans keep getting promoted over you etc…
Maybe your issue is about lack of self esteem with a real lack of self worth & has nothing to do with African-Americans at all?
I’ll look for them this Fall and tell them to come to Waikiki if the heat is on.
Bam bai no go hom!
News?
How in God’s name is this even considered news. Give me a break!
Their punishment is that they have to clean vomit by gamblers who drink too much.
