WEST WENDOVER, Nev. (AP) - A 29-year-old Utah man has been convicted of assaulting a police officer at a Nevada casino on the state line along Interstate 80.
The Elko Daily Free Press reports an Elko County District Court jury found Jason Vialpando guilty on Friday of intimidating a public officer, battery and assault of an officer in West Wendover.
