Homeless camps dismantled behind Stateline casinos

Harrah’s Lake TAhoe and Douglas County Sheriff’s Office employees recently teamed up to clean up the forested area behind the Stateline casinos.  

In years past homeless people have camped there illegally. Volunteers and DCSO SWAT members cleaned up the make-shift campsites which contained bedding, furniture, drug paraphernalia and rubbish. An illegal camping citation was issued to one person. 

Harrah’s provided four dump trucks for trash, and each was filled to capacity.
