A former state transportation officer with a history of drunken driving arrests was in jail Friday after using drugs, which was prohibited under the terms of his pre-trial release, authorities said.
Robert Reasoner, 37, a supervisor at the Nevada Transportation Authority, resigned in Februrary in the midst of an investigation into accidents he had while driving a state vehicle and how he was allowed to keep his job despite three DUI arrests over the past decade.
The arrest warrants were issued April 12, court records show, and he turned himself in early Wednesday morning.

1. A 2012 attack at a Las Vegas Strip nightclub has resulted in a $160 million jury verdict. According to the lawsuit, David Moradi, a former New York hedge fund manager, sued Marquee nightclub at The Cosmopolitan after security guards shoved Moradi and demanded his ID and credit card. A local neurosurgeon diagnosed with Moradi with a traumatic brain injury following the incident.
2. The father of a missing teen and his girlfriend are both facing murder charges. Police say substantial information led to the arrest of Paul Jones and Latoya Williams-Miley. 13-year-old Aaron Jones went missing in January. Police suspect a decaying body found by the family on Tuesday could be Aaron’s.
3. CCSD trustees pulled controversial employee contract proposals from the agenda on Thursday night, a plan that shows continued tensions between Superintendent Pat Skorkowsky and some board members. The proposal to terminate the contracts of confidential employees after they expire was perceived by some to effectively oust Skorkowsky and his team, and a way to block the district’s mandated reorganization.

The Safari Motel, known as the most dangerous hotel in all of Las Vegas, used to be a popular tourist spot. Now it’s a crime trap the city wants to close down. According to Metro, officers have been called to the 21-room Safari on 172 occasions since March 2016. Police, fire and health departments along with the city attorney are now working to shut down the motel, and perhaps seize property.
The arrival of the Las Vegas Raiders could bring back to life the high-speed rail project. A study from a top transportation forecasting consultant says that an estimated 27 percent of travelers from Southern California would take a high-speed rail to Las Vegas. The train system would link Las Vegas with Los Angeles and Anaheim, California, by way of Victorville and Palmdale, California. Relocation of the Raiders gives Southern Californians a new reason to make quick trips to Las Vegas.
