New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas mostly quiet

New Year's Eve revelers on the Strip and Fremont Street mostly behaved Monday night with only 16 arrests at the two locations, according to Las Vegas police.

The most significant incident occurred at Circus Circus, where 20-year-old Manuel Garciahill was arrested after brandishing and discharging a gun at the hotel-casino.

Details were not available, but police said that at about 11:30 p.m. Garciahill was subdued by hotel security and two tourists before being taken into custody.

No one was injured.

He faces four charges -two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, discharging a firearm in a structure in a prohibited area and carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, jail records show.

Garciahill is being held at the Clark County Detention Center on $70,000 bail.

Spokesman Bill Cassell said there were five other arrests on the Strip corridor and 10 arrests at the Fremont Street Experience.

Elsewhere in Las Vegas, Cassell said a man in the northeast valley was injured when a bullet struck him inside his mobile home. He was taken to a local hospital with injuries what were not life-threatening.

Police believe the bullet was fired in celebration of the new year. No arrests were reported.

Cassell added there were 10 people arrested for DUI and one misdemeanor citation issued associated with New Year's Eve celebrations.

Nevada Highway Patrol spokesman Jeremie Elliott said troopers made 615 traffic stops in and around Las Vegas between 7 p.m. Monday and 9 a.m. Tuesday.

Of those stops, 48 drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Elliott said troopers also assisted 65 motorists with broken-down vehicles and investigated 12 crashes, including four involving minor injuries.

Meanwhile, at 5:50 a.m. Tuesday, North Las Vegas firefighters responded to a house fire at 1604 Harewood Ave., near Cheyenne Avenue and Civic Center Drive.

Firefighters had to rescue a disabled woman in her 70s from the home. Another woman and a man, both in their mid-50s, were able to exit the home as firefighters arrived.

All three residents were taken to the trauma burn unit at University Medical Center.

The fire caused an estimated $92,000 in damage to the home.

The cause of the blaze remained under investigation.

At 2:40 a.m. Tuesday, Clark County firefighters quickly extinguished a small house fire in the east valley. The fire caused an estimated $10,000 in damage to a home in the 4900 block of Orinda Court, near Nellis Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue.

No one was injured. The cause of the fire was not known.

Other law enforcement agencies had not reported their arrest totals as of Tuesday afternoon.
