ROUND HILL, Nev. — A Round Hill man accused of lewdness with a child is in custody after authorities searched his home and discovered evidence he was planning to make contact with several other underaged children in Stateline and South Lake Tahoe.

“While searching Mr. Nance’s residence, evidence relevant to the crime was located in his home. Nance was arrested and booked at DCSO’s Lake Tahoe Jail for the crime,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
