A Las Vegas firefighter who allegedly moonlighted as a pimp is facing a felony charge of pandering. That’s after he tried to recruit an undercover female police detective to be his \u201cb*tch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Treyveon Denzel Evans was detained Feb. 4 at Planet Hollywood after delivering his career advice to the detective, who is referred to in the arrest report only as \u201cVUCE 004.\u201d<\/p>\n

VUCE 004 hit Planet Hollywood \u201cdressed in a manner to make a reasonable person believe she was a person engaging in prostitution,\u201d according to the report. She was part of a preemptive operation to counter an expected rise in human trafficking as visitors flocked into Las Vegas for the NFL Pro Bowl and NHL All-Star Game that weekend.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas is one of the top destinations in the US for sex-trafficking<\/a>, according to the US government, with an estimated 5,600 victims across Nevada. In 2020, Metro police found 123 victims in the city who were under 18-years-old.<\/p>\n

Trick-Rolling Pointers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Police said Evans was dancing on the casino floor when VUCE 004 caught his eye, and he made a beeline for the undercover operative.<\/p>\n

VUCE 004 told Evans she was a \u201cworking girl looking and trying to hustle.\u201d The Clark County Fire Department firefighter told her she now worked for him. He said the Las Vegas Strip was a good place to find clients, and because he was a Las Vegas native he had \u201chook ups\u201d who would be willing to pay her good money for her services.<\/p>\n

With his help the woman would make $1,500 per night and his cut of this would be $500, Evans explained.<\/p>\n

He also told her how to \u201ctrick roll,<\/a>\u201d or steal from clients.<\/p>\n

Evans explained if the trick passed out, she must go through everything, to include their pockets and take their valuables,\u201d <\/strong>claims the arrest report.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Evans said he would take VUCE 004 to Los Angeles the following weekend to earn money at the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

Ex-School Bus Driver<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to 8NewsNow, Evans joined the Fire Department in June 2020. Previously, he was a school bus driver, but the Clark County School District declined to tell 8NewsNow exactly which routes he drove.<\/p>\n

He is currently on leave from the Fire Department without pay, pending the outcome of the case.<\/p>\n

He is due in court next month.<\/p>\n

Prostitution in Nevada<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a common myth that prostitution is legal in Las Vegas because it\u2019s permitted in licensed brothels<\/a> in other parts of Nevada. Under Nevada law, only counties with populations under 700,000 are permitted to license prostitution, which precludes Clark County and the City of Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Across the state, it remains illegal to engage in prostitution outside a licensed venue, to encourage others to become prostitutes, and to live off the proceeds of prostitution. It is also illegal to solicit prostitution outside of a legal brothel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the world\u2019s oldest profession is common in Las Vegas, as is \u201ctrick-rolling.\u201d Theft by prostitutes is almost certainly underreported. That\u2019s because victims are unwilling to go to the police as they themselves have broken the law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
