With the exception of a few altercations in the casino core area of Stateline, Nevada Beach and Zephyr Cove Beach, the Fourth of July crowd was well-behaved, according to Douglas County sheriff’s officials.

During the weekend, 49 people were arrested on charges including strongarm robbery, assault, battery, theft, vandalism, trespassing, threats/harassment, indecent exposure, possession of a controlled substance, DUI, child endangerment and probation violation.

The celebratory crowd in the Stateline, Round Hill and Zephyr Cove areas of Lake Tahoe seemed no larger than in past years, deputies said.

    Sounds pretty typical to me. If you double the population for a night you’ll up the crime rate accordingly.
