STATELINE, Nev. – Mayor Cody Bass appeared in the Tahoe Justice Court again today regarding his arrest and charges of trespassing and harassment in September. However, the presiding judge recused himself from the case.

Judge Mike Johnson was presiding over the court and recused himself from case CR250436. Adam Spicer, who made his first appearance in this case as Bass’s defense, expected that it would be the only relevant point in today’s proceedings.

Spicer requested that Bass’s $1,978 bail was quite high and requested the court if some bail could be given back. The judge decided that it would be an item for the next court date.

Bass was scheduled to appear again in front of a different judge on March 2 at 1:30 p.m.
