LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A man convicted of driving drunk and killing three of his friends as a teenager and then drinking while out of custody amid two ongoing DUI cases will remain in custody pending his next hearing.
As the 8 News Now Investigators first reported last week, Las Vegas Justice Court Judge Joe Bonaventure ordered the arrest of Sean Larimer, 36, on Thursday morning after Larimer failed to appear in court. Police arrested Larimer several hours later, a source told the 8 News Now Investigators.
Larimer faces two DUI charges in two separate incidents: one from August 2023 and one from this January, records said.
During a hearing Monday related to the August charge, Bonaventure ordered Larimer to remain in custody pending a Feb. 22 hearing.
In August, Las Vegas Metro police responded to a crash at a business on Warm Springs Road near Cimarron Road, documents said. A witness told police he saw a driver, later identified as Larimer, driving around and attempting “to park forward and backwards,” documents said.
