Virginia, 9/12, 0800 hrs. 
A 23-year-old male reported he went to a Casino on Saturday night and won several thousand dollars, which he gave to his 28-year-old roommate to hold for him when he returned home.  Complainant stated he returned to the Casino on Sunday with a friend, where he lost about half the original sum.  He went home and wanted his roommate to give him some of the money he had asked him to hold for him so he could return to the Casino.  When he woke the roommate up to make the request, he states the roommate jumped up off the couch and started beating him about the head.  He and his friend left the residence.
