Jamestown, CA...The Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a report of an armed robbery which occurred on highway 49 near Chinese Camp. The victim reports that he won $9000 at Chicken Ranch Casino Thursday afternoon. While on his way home to the Groveland area, a brown Chevy pick-up truck passed him on Hwy 49.
