- The Washoe County Sheriff's Office has arrested George Francis Mager, 76, on seven felony counts involving juvenile sex crimes. The investigation began in August when patrol deputies were alerted to possible crimes. Detectives then took over the investigation and found other possible victims. The case is still under investigation. (KOLO)
- Two Reno residents swallowed three balloons of methamphetamine during a traffic stop near Lake Tahoe in late November.

- While we found there have been several serious accidents in recent years on the stretch of El Rancho between Oddie and Prater way, city officials say the posted speed limit of 30 mph is appropriate for that stretch of road. Sparks city spokesperson Julie Duewel says the city will consider setting up a radar trailer to collect information about drivers' speeds. That could happen later this month. (KRNV My News 4)
