It sounds like a story made up by a mother to stop her 12-year-old son from horsing around. But it became a real-life nightmare in October for a Las Vegas taxi driver, who lost an eye to a rock propelled by a slingshot on the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n
According to arrest records reviewed by KLAS-TV<\/em> and published Tuesday, police say the life-altering injury was caused either by Enrique Duarte Hidalgo, or his son. Hidalgo faces charges of battery with the use of a deadly weapon, child abuse, and several gross misdemeanors. It is not clear whether his son \u2013 whose name and age were redacted in the documents \u2013 was charged with a crime.<\/p>\n
