Vathana KhievReno Police have a man behind bars after he allegedly caused destruction in his hotel room Friday night.
Police responded to the Vagabond Inn on South Virginia Street on the report of a possible domestic disturbance in one of the rooms. Police was told by hotel managers that a man was screaming and breaking glass inside.
