"The Chronicle reports that South Lake Tahoe Mayor Pro Tem Cody Bass was arrested for assault, trespassing, and harassment at a local bar from which he had previously been 86'ed. The incident apparently happened at 1 am back on September 25, though we are just learning of it now, as the Douglas County Sheriff and District Attorney offices just released a joint statement acknowledging the arrest."
"If you're wondering, a mayor pro tem is an elected city councilmember who is generally the second-in-command for the mayor, and fills in when the mayor is unavailable. (So he may have been acting Mayor during the time that current Mayor Wallace said she spent 18 days in a mental health facility after her attempt on her own life.) Parenthetically, Bass also owns a Tahoe cannabis dispensary."
"Just one day after the Mayor of South Lake Tahoe admitted to embezzling money from a church, we learn that the city's second highest-ranking elected official was arrested for assaulting an employee at a bar he had been 86'd from. There was nothing funny about the news that broke Monday that the Mayor of South Lake Tahoe had admitted to embezzling money from Lake Tahoe Community Presbyterian Church, as Mayor Tamara Wallace also revealed that she had attempted suicide last month."
South Lake Tahoe Mayor Tamara Wallace admitted to embezzling money from Lake Tahoe Community Presbyterian Church and disclosed a recent suicide attempt that led to an 18-day mental health facility stay. Mayor Pro Tem Cody Bass was arrested on September 25 at 1 a.m. for assault, trespassing, and harassment at Lake Tahoe AleWorx in Stateline, Nevada, a bar where he had been previously banned. The Douglas County Sheriff and District Attorney released a joint statement; the DA dropped the assault charge but Bass still faces misdemeanor trespassing and harassment charges with a December 22 court date. Bass also owns a Tahoe cannabis dispensary.
