Tuesday, August 12

• No reports

Wednesday, August 13

• A male resident of Cottonwood Court reported his neighbors for having a party since they often had noisy get-togethers late at night. Deputies arrived and cited the man’s neighbor for the party, which subsequently calmed down.

• A female Incline resident was notified by Washoe County she had a warrant out for her arrest for failing to appear before a judge on a parking ticket. The woman turned herself in at the substation and paid her fine there.

• Deputies filled out a report for a female resident who was called by her credit card company when $403 was spent in Sherman Oaks, Calif. Unfortunately, the woman hadn’t been to Sherman Oaks and realized her card was stolen.

• A male juvenile was flagged down in his car by an older gentleman after the man perceived the juvenile to be speeding down Donna Drive. The older man alerted deputies and approached the juvenile’s car.

Once the juvenile pulled over, the man began to argue with him about his speed. Apparently, the juvenile angered the man and the juvenile was picked up by his neck while the adult yelled. Then, the older man kicked the juvenile’s car. At that point, deputies arrived to answer the man’s report about the juvenile and arrested him instead for assault and battery.

• Deputies responded to a report of an elderly husband beating his elderly wife at the couple’s home on the 900 block of Incline Way. Deputies took a report and forwarded it to the WCSO domestic violence detectives.

Thursday, August 14

• Residents in the area of Tanager Street and Oriole Way called deputies because they heard a male and female yelling at each other and possibly fighting. Deputies arrived to find the two were indeed not fighting but grossly intoxicated. Each was at least three times over the legal limit of intoxication. The two were yelling in their impaired state, which caused the calls. Deputies took them into custody until they sobered up.

Friday, August 15

• Deputies responded to a Crystal Bay-area casino when security called to report two females were fighting inside. Deputies arrived and found the females, who were roommates, had hit each other and arrested one of the women.

• A male in Incline reported his vehicle was spray painted and provided a possible suspect to deputies. The case is still under investigation.

Saturday, August 16

• Deputies were dispatched to a Crystal Bay - area casino when it was reported two male subjects were fighting. Deputies arrived to find the two in a verbal disagreement and were about to leave when deputies from Placer County, who assisted on the call, recognized the men as drug dealers. One man was identified and searched to find he had three grams of cocaine on his person. The man was arrested.

• A deputy was out on the WCSO jet ski on Lake Tahoe when he spotted a young male perched on a rock drinking a 40 ounce beer. The deputy stopped to talk to the male and he admitted he was 19 years old. A second subject showed up as well, though, and claimed he was 21 before amending his statement to show he was 20 years old. The deputy was going to cite the two for minors in possession of alcohol and asked if they had any more beer on them, which they denied. Upon further inspection, though, the deputy found a cooler full of beer belonging to the males. At that point he decided to arrest the pair.

• A vehicle was pulled over on Lakeshore Drive after failing to obey a stop sign. Deputies made contact with the driver to find the vehicle smelled heavily of marijuana. The driver and his passenger were asked to step from the vehicle as it was searched and deputies found one quarter pound of marijuana. The passenger admitted it was his and was arrested for felony possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute.

• Deputies spotted a male driving eastbound on Lakeshore Drive near Incline Beach who was speeding. Deputies pulled the vehicle over and once they made contact with the driver it was determined he was intoxicated. The man was arrested for DUI before a search of his car turned up 1.9 grams of cocaine, a felony offense.

Sunday, August 17

• Deputies responded to reports of a domestic battery in Incline Village. There, a woman reported her husband held a pillow over her face to keep her from screaming. The man fled, and deputies are currently applying for a warrant for his arrest.

• A vehicle owner who parked his car on Crystal Peak Road called to report his back window was smashed and thieves stole three TV screens mounted in his car. Deputies took a report.

• A deputy needed to brake quickly as a man pulled out in front of his vehicle from a private drive, almost hitting the deputy. The man didn’t realize the deputy was a law enforcement member and sped away from the scene. The deputy caught up to the man, pulled him over, and made contact with the driver. At that point, the man argued that he did indeed not pull out in front of the deputy. The deputy noted the man had false license plates and arrested him for that offense along with failing to yield. He also cited the man’s passenger, a juvenile, for minor in consumption of alcohol.

• A sergeant with the WCSO was flagged down by a bystander in a local convenience store’s parking lot. The sergeant was alerted to a man who had fallen asleep behind the wheel of his still-running car and hit a cement pole. The sergeant found the man asleep inside and woke him to find the man was intoxicated. As he surveyed the vehicle, the sergeant found the man’s 4 year-old daughter in the back seat. He arrested the man for DUI and child endangerment.
