More good news from South Lake Tahoe on bike assault case

The man who shot a bicyclist at point-blank range with a wrist rocket slingshot from a moving car pleaded "no contest" to aggravated assault today and received a nine-month jail sentence.

I wrote about this case when the incident occurred just two weeks ago! Already the South Lake Tahoe Sheriff's Department has secured a plea and the defendant is serving time for his attack on a South Tahoe bike commuter.

But here in Tucson, the man who drove up to a local bike commuter and attacked him with an aluminum baseball bat is still driving around and isn't even aware that we know where he lives, because the Tucson Police Department still refuses to visit him, much less cite him.

Another sad comparison between our police force and the folks up in South Lake Tahoe.
