And Mayers told investigators that "he and Miska came up with the thought of robbing somebody as a joke."  He also acknowledged that they had both been drinking.

Acting Guam Police Spokesman Sgt. Mike Aguon told PNC News that the two suspects were recorded on video tape from camera's inside the casino. Employees of the Carnival Casino identified the pair by name because they had been frequent patrons of the Casino. 

Late Tuesday afternoon,  both Mayers and Miska remained in custody on $25,000 bail each, said Superior Court Spokesman Josh Tenorio.
