Routine holiday weekend for law enforcement
It was a fairly routine Fourth of July for law enforcement. That’s not to say there weren’t plenty of arrests. That’s what made it normal.
South Lake Tahoe officers described it as a young crowd with lots of drinking.
“There was nothing out of the ordinary,” South Tahoe police Lt. David Stevenson said. “The boat guys thought there were fewer boats on the water.”
Five people were arrested in Incline Village at the DUI checkpoint over the weekend.
“It was a fairly quiet weekend for us – with no major problems; although the crowds at the casinos and the beaches at Elks Point and Zephyr Cove were larger than last year,” Douglas County sheriff’s Sgt. Jim Halsey said.
