A late-night casino trip for two friends ended with one friend holding up the other Wednesday night, according to North College Hill police.

Police received a call just before midnight from a man saying he was robbed at gunpoint on Betts Avenue.

The man told police his friend Nicky Phifer pointed a black, semi-automatic gun at him after he picked up Phifer at his home. The man told police that Phifer took all his money and his cell phone before running away.
