STATELINE, Nev. – The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office arrested city of South Lake Tahoe Mayor Pro Tem Cody Bass on the evening of Sept. 25 at Lake Tahoe AleWorx on charges of assault, trespassing, and harassment.
The charges are based on a verbal and physical altercation with an employee at AleWorx.
The sheriff’s office responded just before midnight to the call originally placed by Bass, claiming he had been kicked by a bouncer at AleWorx.
The arresting officer’s report states that based on statements and observations from surveillance, Bass appeared to be the aggressor in the altercation.
The report reveals this wasn’t Bass’ first incident of reporting battery and trespassing at AleWorx after he has been asked not to return.
According to the county jail, Bass was released a few hours after being in custody. The matter has been forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
The Tribune is awaiting a response from the city of South Lake Tahoe regarding Bass’ seat on city council, and has also reached out to the district attorney’s office for court dates.
Also as reported by the Tribune, city of South Lake Tahoe Mayor Tamara Wallace is being investigated by the El Dorado District Attorney for embezzlement.
