ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - A St. Louis man is facing charges after attempting to rob a woman of her casino winnings, according to court documents.

Ronell L. Williams, 36, has been charged with first-degree robbery and armed criminal action. Williams is being held with no bond.

According to court documents, on October 6, a woman was at Casino Queen in East St. Louis when she won $3,203 on the slot machines. She left and started to drive home, crossing the Eads Bridge and turning onto Lumiere Place.

Court documents allege Williams, who had been following her in a maroon car, motioned for the woman to roll her window down. He then told her that the muffler on her car was hanging off.

When the woman did not pull over, court documents allege that Williams continued to follow her and veered into her lane, forcing her off the road. She then pulled over to confront Williams.

Court documents state that Williams then pulled out a gun and told the woman to give him her money.

Williams can be seen on surveillance video for the casino following the woman and watching her play and win slots, court documents allege. He is then seen entering a maroon car and following her off the casino property.

Court documents state the woman described the car to police and identified Williams on the casino surveillance video.
