A Nevada court hearing involving Walter Melvin McGie, 70, of Kelso that originally had been scheduled for yesterday was set aside, to be rescheduled for another day. McGie had originally been scheduled for arraignment on charges connected to a February 4th car crash, where two people were killed and eight were injured. Clark County authorities say that McGie was at the wheel of a car that careened down the entryway to the Edgewater Hotel and Casino, slamming into the front windows of the casino at a speed estimated to be in excess of 60 miles an hour. Two people in the casino were killed in the crash, while eight others were injured. It was first reported that McGie would be charged with felony reckless driving, causing death; he’s currently free after posting bail of $6,000. The Clark County District Attorney’s Office says that they have not yet filed charges in the case, so the arraignment that had been scheduled for yesterday has been cancelled. They say a summons will be issued once charges are filed in the case, but the timeline for that process hasn’t been determined.
