Court records from a recent Clark County hearing detail criminal charges filed against an active Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officer. During the proceeding, prosecutors outlined allegations including kidnapping, coercion, assault, and domestic battery.

The charges stem from a series of alleged incidents spanning multiple years and occurring within an intimate relationship. The defendant is employed as a sworn LVMPD officer at the time of the alleged conduct.

Additional incidents were reported to have occurred in 2024. Prosecutors alleged the defendant again prevented the alleged victim from leaving, using physical force to restrain and drag her back into the residence. A shared written note between the parties was also referenced, which prosecutors argued reflected acknowledgment of prior conduct and an attempt to impose behavioral limits after earlier incidents.

The most recent events discussed in court occurred in December 2025. Prosecutors alleged that after the alleged victim attempted to leave the relationship, another confrontation escalated into physical violence. Prosecutors emphasized that both the defendant and the alleged victim had professional ties to law enforcement.

They argued this dynamic contributed to delayed reporting, citing fears related to authority, credibility, and professional retaliation. The state also raised concerns about potential evidence tampering, including alleged attempts to access cloud-based accounts and recorded video evidence.

Defense counsel disputed the state’s characterization of the case. The defense argued that much of the evidence lacked context and relied heavily on the alleged victim’s statements. Attorneys also cited the defendant’s lack of prior criminal history, community ties, and employment record in requesting a lower bail.

After hearing arguments from both sides and reviewing the submitted evidence, the judge imposed strict release conditions. Bail was set at $150,000, brought down from $750,000, with high-level electronic monitoring and house arrest if released.

The court also ordered a no-contact provision with the alleged victim and prohibited firearms or weapons at any residence where the defendant might stay.

In setting the conditions, the judge cited the seriousness of the charges and the need to protect both the alleged victim and the broader community. The case remains pending, with a preliminary hearing scheduled.
