Two brothers from the Fargo area face felony charges after an armed robbery at an invite-only poker game.
Jackson James Dubois, 22, of Fargo, and Delton Robledo Dubois, 20, of West Fargo, North Dakota, were arrested on August 31. Each was charged in Cass County District Court with robbery involving a firearm, dangerous weapon, or destructive device, a Class B felony.
The incident occurred on August 28 at a building on Northern Pacific Avenue. Three men in dark clothing and ski masks held six players at gunpoint. One victim reported a gun pressed to the back of his head. The group was robbed of wallets, cellphones, and table cash totaling $2,500.
Evidence Recovered by Investigators
Authorities identified a black pickup with distinctive chrome trim linked to Delton Robledo Dubois. Two stolen cellphones were found near an address connected to Jackson Dubois’ ex-girlfriend. A search of the truck uncovered ski masks, dark clothing, gloves, an empty trash bag, and a bank deposit receipt. Three ammunition magazines were located in a safe at Delton’s apartment.
Delton denied attending the game but described entry procedures in detail. Jackson claimed he spent the evening on FaceTime with his girlfriend. Cellphone location data placed Jackson near the scene.
Suspected Role of Former Dealer
Witnesses suspected a former card dealer fired for intoxication. The dealer had previously brought Jackson Dubois to the game. Text messages between Jackson and the dealer discussed “making money” in the days before the robbery and appeared to reference the plan. A third man admitted knowing of the plot but said he got “cold feet” and did not enter the building. He has not been charged.
Both brothers remain on the Cass County Jail roster, according to reporting by GamblingNews.
