Man missing since leaving Jamestown casino

A 35-year-old man missing since he left the Chicken Ranch Casino in Jamestown late Tuesday is being sought by the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office.

The family of Allen Christopher Martin has not heard from him since that evening and is very concerned about him, the Sheriff’s Office said in a news release Friday.

He went to the casino with family members but left on his own, said Sgt. Deborah Moss. The department doesn’t have information on why he left alone, she said, but his family was not immediately worried. When relatives could not reach him the next day, they called authorities.

Martin was last seen walking through the casino parking lot toward Chicken Ranch Road about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. He was wearing blue jeans, a long-sleeved blue shirt and a gray jacket. Martin is 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 200 pounds.

Sheriff’s deputies are following all leads on Martin and conducted a search of Chicken Ranch Road and surrounding areas Friday, the department said.

Anyone with information on Martin’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 209-533-5815.
