Clark County, Nevada, Public Administrator Robert Telles, who was charged last week in connection with the Aug. 3 murder of an investigative journalist, can be heard saying his wife acted like he was "going to kill her" during a 2020 arrest caught on police body camera footage.
Las Vegas police arrested Telles, 45, after they released photos of the suspect in journalist Robert German's killing and the suspect's vehicle, which matched a description of the vehicle Telles was seen driving before German's death.
In the video captured during his March 1, 2020, arrest over a domestic incident in which he allegedly choked his wife, a drunken Telles repeatedly says he loves his wife and family and would never hurt them, according to FOX5 Las Vegas.
At one point, however, he says his wife was "acting like" he was "going to f---ing kill her."
The public administrator repeatedly tells police in the video that he is a "public official."
"Why are you taking me down? I haven't touched anybody. I haven't hurt anybody. This is a civil rights violation," Telles can be heard saying to police in 2020 body camera footage obtained by FOX5.
He says later on: "I am so not, like, somebody who's embarrassing. I'm a public official. âĶI'm not trying to, like, be an a--hole or a jerk."
At one point, he tells an officer to contact an official with the Clark County Detention Center (CCDC) to "vouch" for him.
Police in the video can be heard saying Telles was accused of choking his wife near the Bellagio hotel. When an officer suggests that his wife might have been upset with Telles' drunken state, he tells the cop: "Honestly, I've been drunker. I've been drunker than this, chief."

A paragon of Democrat ethics and morality.
Your typical rat? ð
And, since it’s an elected position, he keeps his title for now and pay as well. Pretty damn generous eh?
I don’t understand this article.
I think “journalists” need to take required course on headline writing. Most of them suck at it.
De problum is we hav no editurs ennymor.
DemonRATS! the Party of Death!
Meanwhile, if you watch a Braves game, they have ads for the Georgia Senate race. The anti-Herschel Walker ads accuse him of violence (wanting to kill his wife).
The RATs have gotten good at making moronic accusations at Americans and have gotten very brazen with all the turds in the far left “yellowsteam media” backing them up with every allegation they make.
