A 24-year-old Carson City man was arrested Saturday for misdemeanor battery after allegedly spitting on a casino security guard, according to a Carson City Sheriff's Office booking report.
At 1:06 a.m. CCSO deputies were dispatched to a casino on South Carson Street regarding a guest who was being verbal and refusing to leave. Dispatch advised the man also spit on the face of one of the security guards, according to the report.
Deputies arrived on scene and located the suspect, who was in a verbal argument with several security guards that were in the parking lot. A deputy spoke with one of them who advised the man spit on his face while they were getting him out of the casino. The security guard stated he wanted to press charges.
CCSO deputies attempted to speak with the suspect, who was being verbally uncooperative and denied spitting on one of the guards. He was arrested for suspicion of battery and taken to jail. Bail: $1,137.
