Man learns casino losses not deductible
ROSEVILLE, Calif., Jan. 19 (UPI) -- A security guard who drove his car into a California creek escaped by shooting out a window, authorities say.
Roseville police said the unnamed 28-year-old Thunder Valley Casino security guard told investigators he hit a guard rail Sunday and his 2005 Ford Focus station wagon plunged into Pleasant Grove Creek, The (Roseville) Press-Tribune reported Tuesday.
The man used his handgun to shoot out a window of the car and climbed back to the road to flag down a motorist for help.
Police Lt. Michael Allison said there were no indications drugs or alcohol were involved in the 9 a.m. incident. He said the man told investigators he lost control of the car when his Bluetooth device made a sound that spooked him.
