The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office and Lyon County District Attorney’s Office are seeking help with a case involving a vehicle that fled the scene where a victim was located.
Between 6:30 and 7 p.m., on Jan. 1, Lyon County Sheriff’s deputies located a victim on the side of Highway 95 Alternate near Luzier Lane in Yerington.
