Las Vegas police: DNA match led to elected official's arrest in death of reporter

LAS VEGAS — The DNA from a now-arrested elected Nevada official was found at the scene of a Las Vegas reporter's slaying, authorities said Thursday, revealing the official was also "upset" about future stories the reporter was pursuing.

Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles, 45, lost his re-election bid in June amid fallout after a series of critical stories Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German published earlier this year. Telles, who faces one count of murder with a deadly weapon, was due to make his first court appearance Thursday.

New details outlining what led police to close in on Telles as their prime suspect five days after German, 69, was fatally stabbed outside his home Saturday were revealed at a Thursday news conference in Las Vegas.

"Telles was upset about articles being written by German as an investigative journalist that exposed potential wrongdoing," Las Vegas police Capt. Dori Koren said, adding at the time of the attack, Telles had recently discovered "there was additional reporting that was pending."

Authorities took Telles into custody Wednesday evening following an hours-long standoff at his home. He was hospitalized for what Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo described as self-inflicted wounds. The arrest came just hours after the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department had concluded a search of his property and vehicles.

Damn, he had so much potential to be a Top Democrat.

He didn't learn anything from the Clintons. Get someone else to do it. Geeze.

Every Democrat running for office this year needs to be asked if they reject the behavior of their fellow Democrat in Las Vegas. We will assume they do not reject the behavior unless they state otherwise.

Agree, he should have attended the Clinton Crime Family’s seminar on “Arkancide Done Right.”

This might have been just another Arkancide were it not for the dna evidence.

Democrat arrested for killing reporter who reported about him.
Biden blames Semi-fascist MAGA for destroying the rule of law.

“Look, Jack, he wouldn’t have killed the guy if Trump was in jail!”

Well, I didn’t see a party affiliation in my scan of that excerpt, so I assume he’s a Democrat. See Tagline.

"...who faces one count of murder with a deadly weapon..."

Seems to me like circular logic is in play here. Any weapon used to commit a murder would, by definition, be, "deadly." Conversely, it would be virtually impossible to commit a murder with a weapon that wasn't deadly.

A Demonrat. They do tend to stomp their feet and go all drama when they’re called out. Just a bit too much outrage, huh, Robby.
