Rendell Bright, 23, was charged with robbery, conspiracy, battery, battery resulting in substantial bodily harm, as well as driver disobeying peace officer endangering other persons or property<\/p>\n

He remains in the Clark County Detention Center<\/a> as of Thursday. His bail was set at $50K, and he will next appear in court on April 23.<\/p>\n

\n

On March 10, Bright and three other men allegedly took part in the pistol-whipping of another man with a handgun at the mall. They also stole some $200, a cell phone, and keys from the victim, according to police.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The victim lost consciousness, police said. Among his injuries were a swollen forehead, a dislocated shoulder, and some memory loss.<\/p>\n

After the holdup, the suspects fled from the mall in a gray Cadillac.<\/p>\n

The two-story Meadows Mall is located on Meadows Lane in Las Vegas. Nearby is the Las Vegas Strip and the Strat Hotel, Casino & Tower<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bright Returns to Mall<\/h2>\n

On March 11, Bright returned to the same mall, police said. He picked up a hat at a store there. He reportedly wrote his name on a payment slip, which led police to conclude he was one of the suspects in the violent holdup.<\/p>\n

\n

On March 12, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) officers spotted Bright driving the suspected get-away vehicle in the mall robbery. Rather than stop when police try to pull the car over, Bright allegedly sped away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The vehicle was later found abandoned in an apartment complex parking lot. Bright\u2019s wallet was in the car.<\/p>\n

Bright Admits Involvement<\/h2>\n

Police took Bright into custody last Thursday at which time he admitted he was at the mall on the day of the robbery.<\/p>\n

One of his friends got into a fight with the victim. The other three men joined the fight, he added to police. He was unaware anyone stole cash or personal items from the victim.<\/p>\n

But Bright did say he fled from police officers, Las Vegas TV station KLAS<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

Police didn’t say if they know the names of the other three suspects and it’s unclear if they’ve been arrested or if their arrests are likely.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The victim wasn’t identified and police didn’t provide an update on his medical condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
