Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Respond to Reported Bomb Threat in Stateline, Nevada, and Arrest Made
MINDEN, Nev. (Jan. 6, 2026) — On Jan. 5, 2026, at approximately 9:50 p.m., Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) deputies were dispatched to Harrah’s Casino in Stateline, Nevada, following a reported bomb threat. Deputies were informed by casino security that a bomb threat had been received via telephone.
The caller stated, “Yeah, I just lost over $20,000 at your stupid casino, and I am going to destroy it now. I am going to bomb it. This is a bomb threat.”
The investigation determined the call was placed by Seth Maybee of South Lake Tahoe. Maybee was located at his residence in South Lake Tahoe and was arrested by the South Lake Tahoe Police Department on Jan. 6, 2026, at approximately 1:43 a.m. Maybee is charged with making a bomb threat and making terroristic threats. He was booked into the El Dorado County Jail and will be extradited to Douglas County, Nevada, to face charges.
“I want to thank Harrah’s Casino for their quick reporting of this incident and the South Lake Tahoe Police Department for their assistance in the arrest of Maybee,” said Sheriff Dan Coverley. “Due to the history of the Harvey’s bombing in the early 1980s, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and Stateline casinos take these threats very seriously. Fortunately, we were able to make an arrest before anything happened”
