CASSOPOLIS — A Cassopolis man who picked up and used a credit card he found at the Four Winds Casino in Dowagiac was sentenced to probation. 

Joshua Samuel Northrop, 35, of Cassopolis, pleaded guilty to retaining a financial transaction device without consent and conspiracy to retain a financial transaction device without consent and was sentenced to two years probation, credit for one day served and $2,836 in fines and costs. 

The incident occurred Oct. 18, 2020 at the casino in Dowagiac.
