VICTIM THROWN FROM BIKE AND RUN OVER
Motorcyclist killed in traffic accident in Las Vegas named
A motorcyclist who died Sunday in a northwest valley crash involving three vehicles was identified Tuesday by the Clark County coroner's office as 35-year-old Eric Maybry.

THEFT SUSPECT AWAITS EXTRADITION
Former Utah city manager arrested in Las Vegas
Authorities say a former Utah city official has been arrested in Las Vegas after failing to appear last week on a felony charge of theft.
Records show 48-year-old Jeannie Bell was arrested Monday and was being held Tuesday at the Clark County jail pending extradition to Utah. She was the controller of Mapleton, Utah.
Bell was due for arraignment Thursday in a Utah court on a second-degree felony count of theft. When she did not show up, a judge issued a warrant for her arrest.
Prosecutors say Bell bought stamps and gift cards on behalf of the city, then sold them on the auction Web site eBay from January 2007 to May 2009.
The amount of money taken has not been specified, but officials have said it is greater than $5,000.
A Utah County sheriff's lieutenant says U.S. marshals in Utah and Nevada helped find her at a Strip hotel.
SECOND SUCH SHOOTING IN 12 DAYS
Robbery suspect killed by Reno police had toy gun
Reno police say a robber shot and killed over the weekend used a toy handgun to hold up the same convenience store twice in three days.
Authorities think 23-year-old Scott Demars also robbed three other stores last week.
Demars died Sunday after police shot him when he ran from the Valley Market on Denslowe Drive to a nearby residential neighborhood.
Reno police say Demars raised a toy gun before officers opened fire.
It was the second time in 12 days that Reno police shot a man armed with a replica pistol.
Police say 44-year-old Charles James Bishop is recovering from wounds he got Oct. 28 at a downtown motel.
Police say Bishop aimed a toy gun with a red laser sight before two officers opened fire.
