Souix Falls, SOUTH DAKOTA

Feb 7, 2008 - Described as "a former teacher,"
Daniel Schuknecht, 46, was arrested on second-degree robbery charges.

A clerk at the Rockin Robbins Casino told investigators he walked in last night, demanded money then ran off. With the help of a witness inside the casino, it took police just a couple of hours to make the arrest. Police recovered the money. There was no weapon involved.

TT - If you recognize Mr. Schuknecht, send us an e-mail. Often such cases turn out that, instead of being a teacher, the perpetrator was once a volunteer coach. But equally often it leads to identification as a teacher with a history that was ignored somewhere along the way. Because 46 is too young to retire.

Feb 8 - Schuknecht worked eight years at Pride Academy, a behavioral program for at risk students. He worked at Washington High School through the 2006-07 academic year as an educational assistant, according to another story. "But he left that position earlier this year for another job." Schuknecht was hired by the district in 1999 and resigned in October 2007.

Police had planned to meet Schuknecht at the same gas station where he was arrested in connection with a gas skip earlier in the day.
