A kidnapping incident at Newcastle Casino in Oklahoma led to multiple criminal charges against Kevin Alando Martin, who allegedly abducted and assaulted a female victim on November 25.

According to prosecutors, Martin trapped the victim in his vehicle after she entered it willingly. He then allegedly:

• Stole her purse and took possession of her knife
• Forced her to perform sexual acts
• Attempted to coerce her into prostitution
• Demanded she retrieve money from her residence

The victim managed to alert a friend while at her residence, who then contacted law enforcement. Police located and arrested Martin near NW 22nd Street and North May Avenue in Oklahoma City, approximately 24 miles from the casino.

Martin faces charges including:

• Kidnapping
• Human trafficking
• Forcible sodomy

The suspect reportedly had prior legal troubles, including a felony arrest for domestic abuse by strangulation and a pending human trafficking case from April involving a teenage victim.

Newcastle Casino responded by emphasizing their commitment to patron safety, stating their staff is trained to handle security concerns and escort guests to vehicles when requested. Casino spokesperson Kym Koch Thompson confirmed they are cooperating with law enforcement in the investigation.
