More questions emerge as stories come out

Thursday, Oct. 19, 2006 | 7:32 a.m.

Two odd coincidences and a non-recantation appear in the 911 tapes, Metro officers' investigative reports and the transcripts of police interviews with Rep. Jim Gibbons and the woman who alleged that he assaulted her:

As the Republican gubernatorial candidate, who Mazzeo said had been flirtatious throughout the evening, prepared to leave the restaurant's bar, Mazzeo said Gibbons mentioned that he was staying at the nearby Residence Inn by Marriott. Gibbons said, according to Mazzeo: "We could basically crawl back to his hotel room."

When he was later interviewed by police, Gibbons said: "I had two glasses of wine 'cause I knew I wasn't driving. So I didn't have to worry about, uh, a DUI because I could have crawled back here."
