The Lincoln Police Department released surveillance footage late Tuesday night, Oct. 27, showing an October 20 encounter between City Councilmember Holly Andreatta and local businessman Steven Pagano at the Sun City Ballroom following Lincoln's State of the City address. Pagano reported the incident to police, alleging unwanted physical contact during a disagreement over a proposed candidates forum; Andreatta has denied any inappropriate conduct. The video shows brief wrist, arm, and shoulder contact between the two before they shake hands and part ways. Police Chief Zach Eaton said investigators are reviewing all evidence before submitting the case to the Placer County District Attorney's Office for a charging decision.
