    It seems there is a charge for everything.
    It ticks me when there are a dozen charges to arrest people.
    Please NOTE, There never seems to be any charges against the Cops.
    They make up lies and tell stories to make the arrest.
    The Judges are also lieing, The DA is not following the Laws as well.

    you left a few accessories to their lies out mainly everyone involved in writing this (i use the term loosely) news paper. This publication should be called a propaganda tool for the furtherance of corruption in nye county. Nothing is ever printed about peoples cases that were dismissed due to civil rights violations of the police department, not even the cases where the charges were totally unfounded the accused get publicly ridiculed, where is the announcement of a mans innocence? I really wish someone would print what is really going on in pahrump and not what the sheriffs office tells them to print!
