We’re now hearing from the man who was arrested on the Las Vegas Strip back in May after the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said one of their own sergeants bumped into him to elicit an aggressive response.
Suspended Metro Sgt. Kevin Menon, 42, is facing charges in two separate criminal cases.
- The first is related to fabricating reasons to stop people on the Strip and arresting them.
- In another case, Metro police said Menon possessed child sex abuse material on two of his devices.
Marquise Brown spoke exclusively to Channel 13 about his arrest on the pedestrian bridge between Caesars Palace and the Bellagio on May 3.
Brown, 31, is from Fresno, California, and had just moved to the Las Vegas valley a week before his arrest took place.
“I was just walking down the bridge, enjoying my night,” Brown said. “All of a sudden, like, I feel a hard, like, you know, shoulder bump on my right side.”
He told Channel 13 he moved to Las Vegas with the hope of embarking on a new chapter.
