WEST WENDOVER, Nev. (AP) - A Salt Lake City man is accused of vandalizing two casinos at the Nevada border.

The Elko Daily Free Press reports (https://bit.ly/1N8Gs41 ) that Eric Brito, 22, of Salt Lake City faces eight charges of destroying property after damages were reported Sunday.

Officials said the casino security at one location called police, claiming that a man had thrown a propane tank from a forklift into a parking lot and tossed a fire extinguisher over a fence.



Police said Brito was tracked down using video surveillance to another casino, where the man allegedly vandalized vehicles at that site’s parking lot.

It’s not immediately clear if he has a lawyer.
