A man charged in an investigation into an alleged biolab operation in Las Vegas has also been accused of illegally keeping firearms in his home, according to multiple reports citing a federal complaint.
Ori Solomon, 55, the property manager of the location where the alleged laboratory was discovered, faces state charges for allegedly disposing and discharging hazardous waste, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) said in a press conference on Monday.
According to a criminal complaint reviewed by Newsweek, he is also accused of illegally keeping firearms, including a Glock handgun, after a federal search warrant was issued for his residence on February 2.
Suspected Las Vegas Biolab The FBI and LVMPD carried out a search warrant on a house in Sugar Springs Drive between Saturday and Monday, when they found potentially hazardous substances stored in a locked garage.
Solomon, is one of two suspects charged in the case. The other, who is the owner of the residence on Sugar Springs Drive, is already in federal custody on charges related to the investigation of a biolab in Reedley, California, in 2023. According to ABC News, the owner, a Chinese national, pleaded not guilty.
Officials say the items found in the California home were “possibly associated with a range of infectious diseases,” including hepatitis, COVID-19, HIV and malaria.

Thanks for posting.
With just a hint of Mossad.
Because Chinese and Jews.
Very weird.
As long as he flushed the diseases down the toilet, it will just end up in the recovery water and infect everyone.
It’s Las Vegas. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. The rest of the world will be just fine…
This makes such little sense.
maybe someone here can help me.
In December 2022, Code Enforcement Officer Jesalyn Harper noticed a green garden hose sticking out of a hole drilled into the side of a warehouse located at 850 I Street in Reedley, California.
She did exactly what my x-gf would have done if that was her job.
She walked around to the front of the warehouse and knocked on the door.
Officer Harper showed her badge and asked to enter the site.
Upon entering, Officer Harper found a vast warehouse filled with laboratory equipment, manufacturing devices, and what
appeared to be medical-grade freezers.
She observed several individuals who identified themselves as PRC nationals wearing white lab coats, glasses, masks, and latex gloves working inside.
As she stepped further into the warehouse, she noticed that some of the freezers and containment units had glass doors. Inside, she saw thousands of vials of biological substances.
Many were unlabeled. Others were labeled in a foreign language later identified as Mandarin.
Others still were labeled in some kind of code.
A few of the vials, however, had labels in English. Some of these labels listed substances that Officer Harper at
the time did not recognize. She did, however, recognize the names listed on several labels, such as HIV.
Officer Harper continued down the hallways of freezers and laboratory equipment to find the source of the green garden hose.
What she found was a makeshift storage room emanating a foul odor. Inside were approximately 1,000 laboratory mice in crowded conditions.
Officer Harper would later learn that these were transgenic mice, specifically genetically modified and bred to simulate the human immune system for the purpose of laboratory experimentation. On future inspections, she also saw that the mice were unwell and abused, with fraying hair, rashes, and distended bellies.
Officer Harper knew that this warehouse was not licensed or permitted for any
laboratory functions. She also knew that there were over a half-dozen other building code violations that she spotted in her brief walk inside the building. What Officer Harper did not know, however, was that her investigation of this green garden hose would uncover a laboratory filled with thousands of vials containing pathogens and other unknown
biological and chemical substances.
A subsequent investigation revealed that the laboratory was operated by a wanted fugitive from Canada, who is a PRC citizen. The said fugitive had previously stolen millions
of dollars of intellectual property from American companies and was part of an ongoing transnational criminal enterprise with ties to the PRC for which he was ultimately charged
in federal court.

Today we are supposed to believe that somehow they did no investigation into other properties he owned and now they are blaming this Ori Solomon guy.
Ori might be guilty, but honestly he seems like an idiot.
and the cops too, hmm you are a felon and we found evidence of biological terrorism, but we are just going to leave your black Glock semi-automatic pistol, and your 2 suicide rounds because the warrant does not authorize their seizure.
I believe that 100%
then later Solomon asks.
“Is there any guns left?” during a phone call from custody at the Clark County Detention Center.
Maybe this guy could be the mastermind of the year, after all
What was the purpose of the lab?
In the case of the first lab nothing good, in the case of recent story much adu about nothing.
I think there was just stuff in the garage that was just crap left over from dec 22 that no one bothered to look for.
if they were renting out the house to people and the china guy had just blocked off the garage for storage ?
then we have the criminal mastermind, the property manager who had rented rooms and maybe tried to get rid of some of the stuff in the garage possibly not even knowing what it was.
They should have nailed the doors shut with everyone inside and then burned the place to the ground.
Then send a bill for the cleanup to the ChiCkoms.
