On October 15, Jesse Romero, 35, was charged with driving under the influence, reckless driving, resisting a public officer, and having an open container of alcohol in a vehicle, according to Las Vegas TV station KLAS<\/em>.<\/p>\n

North Las Vegas police found Romero sleeping and \u201cslumped over the wheel\u201d on the truck\u2019s front seat. The motor was running, and his dog was sitting nearby.<\/p>\n

He had slurred speech, and I detected a strong smell of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his [person],\u201d<\/strong> a police officer revealed in an arrest report.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Inside the truck were an open container of alcohol and a pill container. The pill container had some white substance inside, believed to be cocaine, police said. There was a snuff spoon, too.<\/p>\n

There was no word on the cost of repairs to the fence and a damaged cart in the incident.<\/p>\n

On October 16, Romero appeared in North Las Vegas Municipal Court. He was released by a judge and told not to consume drugs or alcohol, according to KLAS. Romero is next scheduled to appear in court on November 30.<\/p>\n

USPS Offers Reward<\/h2>\n

A U.S. Postal Service letter carrier was robbed on Monday. The armed holdup took place on North Yellow Harbor Street in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

During the robbery, two suspects approached the letter carrier. At least one displayed a firearm before they ordered the postal employee to hand over a master key. The two men took the key and drove away in a car.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is handling the robbery<\/a> investigation.<\/p>\n

When they approached the carrier, they knew exactly what they wanted,\u201d<\/strong> said Trevor Hudson, U.S. postal inspector, as quoted by Las Vegas TV station KTNV.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Postal Service this week offered a $150K reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case. If convicted, the defendants could face up to 25 years in federal prison.<\/p>\n

Hudson is encouraging people to be on the watch for checks being cashed or credit cards being used that weren\u2019t authorized.<\/p>\n

Boulder Highway Murder<\/h2>\n

A person was apparently murdered Thursday night while on Las Vegas\u2019s Boulder Highway<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The killing was reported to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) at about 11:45 p.m. on Thursday. It took place south of the intersection with Tropicana Avenue.<\/p>\n

Boulder Highway was closed between Tropicana and Missouri avenues for several hours on Friday.\u00a0That allowed detectives to search for physical evidence and possible witnesses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Clark County coroner\u2019s office is expected to perform an autopsy to identify the victim, as well as determine the cause and manner of death.<\/p>\n

Police didn\u2019t provide details additional details on the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
