The victim then changed his story several times and declined to make a report to police. Maybe his head hurt too much to remember what happened.

It turns out the suspect had been kicked out of the casino after hitting one of the above victims and putting a cigarette out on the back of her hand.

Fortunately he was not injured. Talk about a cat fight.

Incline residents reported a suspicious vehicle parked in their neighbor's driveway on Sugar Pine.
After deputies checked out the scene, the situation turned out to a builder showing his friends the residence he was working on.
Hope the cost of the job isn't a crime ...
