Rowdy behavior nets another charge for man booked at jail

A man who was booked at the Douglas County Jail on suspicion of being a minor consuming alcohol and a warrant added another charge to the list when he became combative, according to a deputy's report.

The 18-year-old from South Lake Tahoe repeatedly challenged deputies to fight during the booking process on Oct. 11 and kept spitting mucous onto the floor despite being told not to, said the report from the Douglas County Sheriff's deputy.

While in a holding cell, the man allegedly pounded on the door, yelled and threw a property bin against the door so hard that it shattered. Authorities added a destruction of property charge to his booking.
