Number of arrests over 4th of July weekend in South Lake Tahoe
Submitted by paula on Tue, 07/05/2016 - 4:20pm
For the 96 hours that made up the 4th of July weekend this year, South Lake Tahoe police arrested 27 people, nine of them on the holiday.

This leaves officers available and on the streets in case of emergencies, and not tied up with paperwork.
