Las Vegas police arrest man at Siegel Suites after toddler hospitalized

Las Vegas police arrested a man Sunday after a toddler in his care went to a hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries.

Craig J. Dickens, 34, faces two counts of child abuse with substantial bodily harm.

Dickens is being held at the Clark County Detention Center on $20,000 bail.

At 2:40 a.m., police responded to reports that an 18-month-old had fallen out of bed and suffered serious injuries at Siegel Suites.

The child was taken to Sunrise hospital.

Detectives said the explanation offered by Dickens did not account for the severity of the child’s injuries.

The relationship between the child and the man was unclear.

A neighbor said she reported possible abuse to security at Siegel Suites in July after overhearing “blood-curdling screams” of a child.

Nevada building $57M freeway project even without Faraday Future

Nevada officials are moving ahead with a $57.8 million freeway project near Apex Industrial Park.

It’s happening even though Faraday Future decided not to build an electric vehicle plant there.

A five-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 93 will be widened from Interstate 15 to Apex Power Parkway in North Las Vegas.

Work is expected to start by March on the Garnet interchange, and completed by the end of 2018.

Preliminary plans called for building a costly flyover bridge to Faraday’s plant, but that plan has been scrapped.

NDOT officials said they hope to see some growth soon at the Apex complex.

New Barry Manilow residency in Las Vegas?

Barry Manilow, 74, is reportedly interested in returning to residency in Las Vegas in 2018.

He has apparently been investigating venues on and off the Strip.

He previously headlined at the old Las Vegas Hilton (now Westgate) from 2005-2010.

He then moved to Paris Theater for two years, closing in December 2012.

Sources say he is reviewing a four- or five-night-per-week residency and is interested in a major Strip theater “miniresidency.“

Westgate officials attended Manilow’s Aug. 5 show at the Forum in Inglewood, California.

Manilow’s current tour closes Oct. 6 in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

His 2018 schedule is mostly open.

Reno student marching in Charlottesville rally denounces violence
 
Reno student marching in Charlottesville rally denounces violence

A University of Nevada, Reno, student was identified as a marcher in a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia

Peter Cvjetanovic, 20, denounced the violence that led to three people’s deaths.

A photo of Cvjetanovic at the rally went viral on social media.

The event was staged to protest the mandated removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

Cvjetanovic wrote that he “went to honor the heritage of white culture here in the United States,”

He said: “I recognize the need to acknowledge both the good and bad of white history as it has made the nation we have now. All people have the right to their culture and their history including jews, african-americans, and white americans. I do not advocate for violence and certainly not the death of anyone. Today became a tragedy with the three fatalities.”

Social media posts are calling for his expulsion from the university.

UNR President Marc A. Johnson said the rally’s message does not reflect the university’s egalitarian values.
