Las Vegas police have busted a fake marijuana store. Elevate Medical Pharmacy never had a license to sell, according to police. Clayton Bernard, 36, was arrested on suspicion of illegally selling marijuana, a felony. Bernard told police that Elevate “had nothing to do with marijuana sales.” He also said he did not understand his rights because he wasn’t a U.S. citizen and was trying to start his own country. It’s unclear how long Elevate was in operation.

24 people face fraud charges in a Las Vegas car crash scheme. The crashes would happen in the east valley, most on Nellis Boulevard. The scheme typically involved two cars that would brake suddenly, causing a victim behind them to rear-end the second car. One defendant, Julio Caesar Gonzalez, allegedly drove in 17 of the staged crashes. Another defendant, Edgar Betancourt Preval, is a local dentist. At least one crash sent an elderly couple to a hospital; in another, an 11-year-old child was inside the targeted vehicle. As of Monday morning, 10 people had been arrested.
