Famous Arrests in Nevada

Nevada Arrest Records And Outcomes

A booking photo records an intake event only. It says nothing about evidence or outcome. The arresting agency keeps the incident file. Courts record pleas, dismissals, and judgments. An NDOC profile covers state-prison custody, not the county booking. News stories help locate a file, but the court or agency gives the current status.

A disposition is the court's recorded outcome. It can be a dismissal, acquittal, plea, conviction, or other final action. The final result may differ from the charge first listed at booking, so keep the stages separate when matching an old report to a current record.

Notable Nevada Arrest Case Index

Every entry below maps to a distinct paper trail, and missing statuses point you toward the court for verification.

The agency file covers the arrest itself. The court docket, not the booking photo, carries the case outcome.

Note: Nevada case sources were checked September 22, 2026; verify open cases and later court orders in the current docket.

O.J. Simpson's Nevada Court Record

Las Vegas police arrested Orenthal James Simpson after the September 2007 Palace Station incident involving sports memorabilia. A Clark County jury convicted him in 2008. The charges were robbery and kidnapping. The agency investigation, booking record, trial file, and appellate material each document a different stage. ABC News published the contemporaneous LVMPD investigative report. That document covers the investigation only. The Eighth Judicial District Court file holds the trial proceedings and judgment, and Nevada appellate records may show later review. This 2007 arrest is not a current custody event, so treat it as a closed historical record.

Note: The investigative report identifies the agency record, while the judgment and later appeals answer separate questions.

2010 Las Vegas Cases And Dispositions

Paris Hilton's Las Vegas arrest began with a traffic stop. Police said the stop turned up cocaine. She later pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors. The sentence: a year of probation, a $2,000 fine, 200 service hours, and treatment. The CBS/AP report and the Las Vegas Sun court report walk through the plea. LVMPD holds the booking record. The court docket holds the outcome.

Bruno Mars was busted at a Las Vegas casino over cocaine. He pleaded guilty, then finished probation, a fine, community service, and counseling. CBS covered the plea and reported in 2012 that the charge was cleared once he met every condition. Two files matter here. The arrest record sits with police; the later court action sits with the court.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. was arrested in 2010. The case involved domestic violence claims. He pleaded guilty to reduced misdemeanor battery-domestic-violence and harassment counts. CBS/AP and the Las Vegas Sun described a six-month sentence, 90 days to serve, plus a fine, counseling, and service. LVMPD is the agency path. Las Vegas Justice Court is the court path.

A news story is a locator, not the full file. Booking charges can shift before judgment. The court record carries the outcome, while the arresting agency keeps its own incident and intake material. Pull both when you need the whole trail.

Recent Nevada Cases Need Current Dockets

LVMPD arrested Henry Ruggs III after the November 2021 crash that killed Tina Tintor. He pleaded guilty in 2023 to DUI resulting in death and misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. The sentence runs 3 to 10 years in state prison, with the misdemeanor term concurrent, as the AP Archive reported. LVMPD holds the arrest record. The Eighth Judicial District Court holds the case. An NDOC profile is a corrections record, not the county booking.

Robert Telles was arrested by LVMPD in September 2022 after journalist Jeff German was killed. A jury convicted him in 2024, and he received 28 years to life. The Silha Center's 2024 bulletin documents the case. State the conviction and sentence alongside the arrest record.

Duane “Keffe D” Davis was arrested in 2023 in the Las Vegas area. The case involves the Tupac Shakur homicide. No final disposition stands yet. Use “charged” or “accused” unless the Clark County docket shows a later outcome.

Nathan Chasing Horse was arrested in the North Las Vegas area in January 2023 on a formal indictment alleging sexual assault, kidnapping, and child abuse. He pleaded not guilty. A 2024 ruling, dismissal, and refiling sequence makes current status essential. The AP Archive report covers the arrest and plea. The booking authority, district court, and Supreme Court files control later status.

Nevada Mugshot Law And Due Process

Nevada has no single mugshot statute. Nothing on the books broadly bans publishing booking photos, grants a private right to demand deletion, or penalizes a fee for taking one down. What the state does have is NRS Chapter 239, the public-records chapter, which works alongside confidentiality rules and listed exceptions. It never forces an agency to post photos, either.

The statute page lays out the public-record provisions. It is not a dedicated mugshot law.

Read the statute text first. The agency holding the record decides whether an exception or a later court order applies.

Federal case law matters here too. In September 2024 the Ninth Circuit decided Houston v. County of Maricopa, an Arizona case. The opinion held that the complaint plausibly alleged a due-process claim over publishing arrestee photos before adjudication. Two limits stand out. It was not a Nevada ruling, and it ordered no universal deletion. Some Nevada agencies later tightened photo policies, though that says nothing about whether images were ever taken or kept.

Before requesting anything, confirm three things. Who holds the photo, which access rule applies, and whether a later order touches the record. A famous name does not change that review duty.

Counties respond differently to the same due-process concern. Douglas and Lander tie their photo limits to the Houston context, while Washoe's public roster leaves booking photos out entirely. Those are publication choices, nothing more. They do not prove an image was never taken or that the agency destroyed its record.

Note: The Houston opinion arose outside Nevada, so it is context for policy review rather than a state statute or automatic deletion rule.

Look Up A Nevada Arrest Record

Begin with the record source and the date. A jail roster alone tells you nothing about how a case ended. The Nevada AOC routes appellate matters to the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals search. Trial, justice, and municipal records sit with each individual court. One caution from the public Supreme Court search: online material may be unofficial. It may also omit sealed or lower-court records.

1. Identify the event year, county, and arresting agency.
2. Ask that agency for the incident or booking file and its release rules.
3. Use the Nevada court finder to locate the court named in the case papers.
4. Check the docket for the separate outcome: dismissal, acquittal, plea, conviction, or sentence.
5. For old files, follow the records series. Nevada's archive routes describe the state collections.

The Nevada arrest and mugshot lookup overview covers the booking layer and its alternatives. Match the event date, agency, case number, and court. A name alone can point to the wrong person fast. Add the current docket to an older news citation. Then report the outcome in plain terms. LVMPD incident or booking records go through the department's official public-records route. Other agencies may run requests differently. A court portal can omit sealed, confidential, or lower-court material. Ask the proper clerk when the file is not online. An empty search is never a final answer.

Nevada Historical Prison Photographs

The MSNC 1055 collection holds Nevada State Prison inmate photographs and files. These run from roughly 1920 through 1960. Labels may carry booking dates, charges, sentence lengths, and identifying details. This is a corrections archive, not a current county roster, and outcomes vary by file. The collection was slated for transfer to the Nevada State Library and Archives. That transfer was subject to access rules. Confirm present custody and reproduction terms before citing a photo. A prison image is neither a court disposition nor a recent county booking photo. Labels can guide an archive request. Staff must verify whether the named file survives, and whether it can be viewed or copied. Cite the archive and record date with any image. Pair it with the court outcome when one exists.

Note: Historical photographs need their original record context, including agency, collection, date range, and custody stage.
