Dustin Lemaster

By KAREN VELIE

Officers captured a suspect after he allegedly kidnapped an elderly woman from the Tachi Palace Casino Resort and took her to Paso Robles.

On Monday morning, a caller reported the elderly woman was missing. Witnesses told Kings County Sheriff’s deputies the woman was last seen getting into her car with an unknown man, who they later identified as 33-year-old Dustin Lemaster.

Using her cell phone locator, deputies tracked the woman to Paso Robles.

Paso Robles officers located the woman in her vehicle and Lemaster outside the car.

Officers arrested Lemaster, who was later booked in the Kings County Jail on multiple charges of kidnapping, extortion and elder abuse. His bail is set at $240,000.

I feel a strong urge to judge this book by it’s cover.

I wonder how long he has been here. It’s just starting

Lemaster is a real piece of work. Must have gotten an Indian Gaming Casino confused with Las Vegas.

Maybe he was taking her on a romantic getaway to wine country?

The Tachi Palace Casino Resort is doing to the elderly just what Mr. Lemaster was doing. The other thing they have in common is that neither pay any taxes.

Tribal lands are sovereign property. While the casino’s and casino corporations do not pay federal or state taxes (again, sovereign land), all the money they distribute to the tribes and individuals are taxed by the state and fed. The one way they can somewhat get around this, is to “donate” to an NGO that strictly assists tribal members. That money is not taxed. However, there are limits to the amount they can give.


Mr. Lemaster, does not have that distinction.
