Douglas Co. deputy shot in traffic stop returns home

It was the only Christmas gift his family and fellow deputies wanted and it’s just fine that it came a few days late. Douglas County Deputy Sergeant John Lenz is now home after being shot in the face in Gardnerville during a traffic stop 10 days ago. Officers from all over held a motorcade escort for Sgt. Lenz. Members of the community also lined up to salute him.
