A 45-year-old Boulder City man was killed just after 9 p.m. Tuesday when the motorcycle he was driving collided with a minivan on American Pacific Drive, just west of Gibson Road, Henderson police said.
The man was identified as Glen Earl McIntosh by the Clark County coroner's office.
McIntosh was heading east on American Pacific when a minivan exited from a private driveway and tried to cross American Pacific to head west, police said.
McIntosh could not stop in time and slammed into the minivan, police said. He was wearing a helmet.
McIntosh was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The minivan was driven by Elizabeth Faiman, 43, of Henderson, police said. She volunteered to take a blood test. No citation or arrest was made.
The accident is the third traffic-related fatality in Henderson this year.
FEDERAL PRISON
Ex-club manager gets 10-month sentence
Former Crazy Horse Too manager Joseph Melfi was sentenced to 10 months in federal prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to defrauding the government by failing to pay taxes on all of the cash he collected at the topless club.
Melfi was one of 15 Crazy Horse workers and managers who signed a plea agreement in May after the government alleged they did not pay taxes on "tip-outs" they received from dancers. Strippers are required to pay the club 15 percent of their tips.
With the prison time, Melfi was ordered to pay a $10,000 fine. He must turn himself in to the Bureau of Prisons by April 13.
CARSON CITY
R-J reporter arrested on DUI charge in capital
A Review-Journal reporter was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence in the capital on Tuesday.
Political reporter Molly Ball, 27, who was in the capital to cover the opening of the Nevada legislative session that began Monday, was pulled over by a Nevada Highway Patrol trooper on North Carson Street at about 11:48 p.m.
She was booked into the Carson City jail and released following an appearance in Carson City Justice Court on Wednesday.
Ball, who was off duty, was pulled over for failing to maintain a travel lane. She then failed a field sobriety test.
Nevada Highway Patrol trooper Chuck Allen said that a breath test administered in the field showed that Ball's blood alcohol level was "well over" the legal limit of 0.08. A blood alcohol test result was not immediately available.
Allen said that Ball cooperated fully with the arresting officer.
"I am truly sorry and ashamed, and I take full responsibility for my actions," Ball said.
