A casino employee tasked with unclogging “cash out machines’’ at Gun Lake Casino admitted to stealing more than $84,500 over the span of 14 months, federal court records show.

Jordan Lewis Cook admitted to the thefts in a written plea agreement with the government. His plea was accepted Friday by U.S. Magistrate Judge Ray Kent in Grand Rapids.

The charge, theft from an Indian Tribal Organization, is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Sentencing has been set for January.

The thefts happened between September 2021 and November 2022 at the popular Allegan County casino operated by the Gun Lake Tribe.
