LAS VEGAS (AP) — Details are emerging about a Las Vegas Strip casino stabbing that left one man with leg and hand injuries and a 38-year-old man facing felony battery charges. A police report made public today accuses Aaron Vogel and his brother, Bryan Vogel, of brawling with two other men after a bump and an exchange of words a little before 8 p.m. Monday in a men's restroom at the Planet Hollywood resort. Aaron Vogel was the only one arrested.
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — The Nevada Supreme Court has rejected a convicted stalker's claims that his rights were violated when a Douglas County sheriff's deputy tracked him down through his cellphone's Global Positioning System without first obtaining a separate search warrant. A three-judge panel today affirmed Michael Meisler's conviction, saying officers had obtained a valid arrest warrant before requesting his phone's GPS coordinates.
RENO, Nev. (AP) — Lawyers for Nevada developer and ex-lobbyist Harvey Whittemore argue his conviction for illegally funneling money to Sen. Harry Reid should be overturned based in part on a new ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that struck down some limitations on individual campaign contributions as unconstitutional. Whittemore's lawyers say in filings to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that placing limits on the amount of money he can contribute to an individual candidate violates his First Amendment right to free speech.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The district attorney in Las Vegas has cleared an FBI agent who was wounded before he fatally shot a 32-year-old ex-convict during a foot chase in a residential neighborhood more than a year ago. Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said today that his investigation found the agent was legally justified in the Feb. 19, 2013, slaying of Javier Salomon Reyes. The DA withheld the name of the agent and more than 20 other area police and federal agents from his 28-page report on the case.
