The recent shooting near the Mandalay Bay on Sept. 19 was west of the hotel and casino. Two windows were hit, and one person was injured from the damage to the building, not the shooting.

Beaver Dam Fire Department reported that a 21-year-old male hiker fell off a cliff on Sept. 16 at about 11:30 a.m.. The department reported the individual fell “about 60 feet down a steep and rugged slope.”

The individual had multiple injuries, including to his wrist and ankle. The first responders reported the individual had a cell phone with him and called 911. The man had been hiking a couple of miles north of Cedar Pocket when he fell. He was air-rescued by Air Rescue DPS Helicopter and then transported by ground to St. George Regional Hospital. The department reminded everyone not to go hiking alone.

There was a major vehicle rollover on Old Highway 91 at approximately mile marker 16. The driver was trapped in the pickup truck while the route was closed down for emergency extrication for over an hour. The pickup truck rolled just off the shoulder of a turn in the road at about 9:50 p.m. on Saturday.

Though Beaver Dam was first on scene, the Santa Clara and Ivins Fire Department was called in to assist with the extrication using the Jaws of Life. Once freed, the driver was transported by Mercy Air helicopter to St. George Regional Hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

The department also announced that its wildfire unit was back at it again, working in California at the Garnett Fire, which now sits at 99% contained with 60,263 acres burned within Fresno County.

As for Mesquite Police arrests, there was a significant rise in domestic batteries and battery charges. There continue to be consistent arrests made for alcohol and drug violations, including driving under the influence charges.
