The warrant was approved on Friday. It comes from Montana\u2019s Fort Peck Tribal Court. The 2005 case involves an attack on 13-year-old and 15-year-old girls, police told the media.<\/p>\n

Chasing Horse is currently in the Clark County Detention Center. His bail was set at $300K. He is scheduled to appear in North Las Vegas Justice Court on February 22.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Peck Tribes Department of Law & Justice Supervisory Criminal Investigator Kenny Trottier said statutory rape and rape allegations were also submitted to the Montana US Attorney\u2019s Office and Fort Peck Tribal Court. Both offices declined to prosecute the cases because of insufficient evidence, Trottier said.<\/p>\n

Chasing Horse also faces two federal counts of sexual exploitation of children and one charge of possession of child pornography. Those cases stem from Nevada incidents.<\/p>\n

Charges Against Chasing Horse<\/h2>\n

Chasing Horse, 46, was first arrested on January 31 in North Las Vegas. Current North Las Vegas Justice Court charges against him include sexual assault against a child, sexual assault, four counts of sex trafficking of an adult, child abuse or neglect, and possession of pornography depicting a victim under the age of 16.<\/p>\n

In Canada, he was charged with sexual assault, KLAS <\/em>reported. The victim is a woman who said she was sexually assaulted several times, police said. Additional victims and witnesses have given statements to Canada\u2019s Tsuut\u2019ina Nation Police Service. The statements led to further investigations.<\/p>\n

Alleged Cop Killer Faces Possible Death Sentence<\/h2>\n

The man accused of fatally shooting Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Officer Truong Thai<\/a> may face the death penalty.<\/p>\n

Last week, Clark County prosecutors submitted a notice of intent to seek the death sentence against the defendant, Tyson Shawn Jordan Hampton, 24.<\/p>\n

Hampton was charged with the 49-year-old officer\u2019s death on October 13. He faces charges of murder, battery, battery constituting domestic violence, four counts of attempted murder, two counts of assault, and 19 counts of illegally discharging a weapon, the Las Vegas Review-Journal <\/em>reported.<\/p>\n

Thai was responding to a domestic violence complaint on East Flamingo Road. He went up to the car in which Hampton was seated, and after refusing to answer some questions, Hampton allegedly reached for an AK-47 pistol in the car.<\/p>\n

A bullet fired from the pistol passed through Thai\u2019s bullet-proof vest, police said. Hampton\u2019s mother-in-law was also wounded in her leg, KLAS<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

Hampton, who’s being held at the Clark County Detention Center, is scheduled to appear in Las Vegas Court on Thursday. No bail was set as of Wednesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thai was a patrol and training officer. He worked at the LVMPD for 23 years.<\/p>\n

Steve Grammas, executive director of the Las Vegas Police Protective Association, agreed that prosecutors should seek the death penalty in the case.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas Super Bowl DUI Charges<\/h2>\n

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers charged 39 drivers over Super Bowl weekend for intoxicated<\/a> driving. The arrests occurred during the LVMPD\u2019s DUI Blitz, a monthly selective enforcement by the LVMPD.<\/p>\n

The officers made 324 motor vehicle stops during the two-day period. In total, officers issued 68 citations. Cops also seized two firearms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
