| Description | A single mother and a Nevada congressman running for governor gave vastly different accounts of a night of drinking that ended in three calls to 911, a police investigation and a battery complaint that was later withdrawn, police reports show.
Chrissy Mazzeo made three calls to 911 in which she told operators she had been assaulted by Rep. Jim Gibbons, according to investigative reports released by police Wednesday.
Mazzeo, 32, told police that Gibbons grabbed her arms and tried to force himself on her late Friday in a parking garage near a restaurant where she had been drinking with a friend, the congressman and his top adviser.
Gibbons, 61, a five-term Republican congressman who is running for governor against Democrat Dina Titus, told police the alleged assault "didn't happen." He said he walked Mazzeo toward her car and helped her catch her balance after she tripped.
