Officer-Involved Shooting at Casino
In March, dash-cam and surveillance videos were released. They show the escalating events before a deputy shot a driver last year at Thunder Valley Casino Resort.
He was in a parked SUV in the casino’s parking lot but then sped away with the deputy leaning into the driver’s door.
The SUV dragged the Placer County deputy about 150 yards after the driver hit the gas during the Jan. 11 confrontation in the casino’s east parking lot. The deputy, fearing for his safety, then shot the driver.
The suspect, Albert Savala III, 30, of Sacramento, Calif., was wounded and required treatment at a local hospital. He was shot three times in both arms and chest while he had his hands in the air, according to a GoFundMe website organized by his family.
He was later arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, evading, possessing a firearm, destruction of evidence, and conspiracy. His bond was set at $200,000.
Because it involved shooting, the incident was reviewed by the Placer County District Attorney’s Office. They concluded that “The deputy’s use of force was reasonable and within the bounds of the law,” Angela Musallam, a spokeswoman for the Placer County Sheriff’s Office, told Casino.org in March.
