PAHRUMP, Nev. (AP) — Nye County Sheriff's deputies have made two arrests after a man allegedly shot at a woman inside a Pahrump casino.

Deputies say 46-year-old Lee Anthony Daniels and 36-year-old Desiree Lewis, both of Pahrump, were found in Las Vegas Saturday morning and have been booked into Nye County Detention Center.

They face charges ranging from attempted murder to assault with a deadly weapon.

According to deputies, Daniels got into an argument with a woman inside a cafe at the Pahrump Nugget Hotel-Casino just after midnight.

He allegedly fired one round at her and then fled in a vehicle driven by Lewis.

The victim was hospitalized for a non-life-threatening injury to her leg.

No one else was hurt.

Authorities did not say how the victim and the suspects know each other.
