BE CAREFUL!
« on: March 16, 2010, 12:45:47 AM »
just got word of one of the bowlers from illinois that was out in reno bowling this last week...getting attacked while walking out of the eldorado.  I want to say he ended up getting hit with a baseball bat to the face...broken jaw and such.  From the response of the police there...it sounded as if this was not out of the ordinary...so please be careful!

Jason, has most of the facts correct. No police report is correct. He did suffer a broken jaw and other injuries Was taken to Hospital. There where no witness to the attack. And the person that was injured can not remember much he was out late etc.
I did speak to 2 of his teammates this week. I know 3 of them and 1 for more than 30 years so I do believe them. As rumors grow so does the legend.

Hope this helps



So he was taken to a Reno area hospital, with injuries from an assault and the hospital didn't report it to the Reno PD?

Somehow that just doesn't sound right.

Nine in the pit with the Tenpin left standing. dooooh!!


It's not right and it's illegal as far I know. If he was assaulted, the hospital HAS to report it the police....just like if someone comes in with a gunshot wound.

If he did get hit to make this happen, then he may have provoked it or started it and didn't want to face any possible charges himself so he didn't report it.

not to mention that if it happened on Casino property, there WOULD be video of the incident (not to mention witnesses).  Even a robbery without witnesses would still be something with a police report...trust me on that one.  I cannot imagine being beaten and robbed and NOT calling the cops...

The lack of report and lack of video of an assault tell me that this is a story that mushroomed out of the realm of believability and into the realm of rumor accepted as fact.

He wasn't robbed.  My team mates know the guy as they are from the SW Chicago burbs as well.  He was leaving the Eldorado and headed back to Harrah's.  He was beaten, but they didn't take any money from him.  It happened out on the street, I could be wrong, but I don't remember seeing any video cameras once you got away from the doors.  

The statement from Reno PD said they knew of no incidents involving bowlers.  So unless the PD specifically asked if the victim was a bowler, why would they have it on record that he was there for bowling?    

Probably will never know exactly what happened.  Maybe they planned on robbing him, but were interrupted, maybe it was someone from inside the casino that he had words with before going outside, or maybe it was just a random act of violence.

the only thing that really matters is that the person is hopefully recovering well and will be back to 100% soon.

Well, I just got back from my trip and you can't go ANYWHERE with out someone asking for a handout, some very beligerantly.  Don't walk alone!!
We got out there Wed afternoon the 17th and just got back Yesterday, the 22nd.
Stayed at the Sands.  Didn't matter if you where in the stadium or out, inside the hotel/casino or out, and anyplace in between.  With four teams at least 50% of us got approached at one time or another, some repeatedly.  It happened at all hours of the day as well.  In talking with shuttle drivers the area is hurting and if not for the bowling community would be really sad.  They don't have the glitz of Vegas and with Casinos just about any place you go they aren't the destination they once where.  They have heard stories and feel terrible that one group that is supporting the area is getting so much hassle and just hope nothing serious happens.
