BOSSIER CITY, La. — Thanks to a caller’s tip and security at a Shreveport casino, 60-year-old Lynn Dorsey Smith has been captured and is in the Bossier Parish Jail. East Texas authorities describe Smith as an alleged thief with a gaming addiction. According to KETK, investigators suspect Smith may have been in and out of Shreveport casinos due to his apparent addiction. Authorities report the supposed bandit has pawned several items taken in a July Harrison County theft. Officials suspected Smith would be in the Shreveport area due to the items being pawned in the Louisiana pawn shops in both Bossier City and Shreveport.
