A visit to the home of Della and John Gonzales reveals an ordered admixture of creative activity in many venues.

It’s their home, primarily, but at every turn, it’s an unending adventure in items that deceive the eye. At the entrance, one initially experiences a relatively standard, albeit eloquently unique exterior. A carport neatly frames the free-hand depiction that this is the Gonzales home, but a few steps away the foray into the unexpected begins.

It’s not often that someone who has gotten behind the wheel after consuming too many alcoholic beverages pulls over at a police station and turns himself in.

But that’s exactly what Las Vegas police say happened Tuesday afternoon.

A probable cause statement filed in the case states that Willie Sedillo, 47, of the 2400 block of Sagebrush, drove to the police station near the Plaza, walked in and told a dispatcher that he was intoxicated.
