LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Metro police arrested a Nevada State Police lieutenant for allegedly driving impaired and at speeds upwards of 80 miles per hour on neighborhood roads, the 8 News Now Investigators have learned.
On Friday, Sept. 20, a Las Vegas Metro police officer spotted a minivan traveling above the speed limit on Fort Apache Road in the far southwest valley, documents said. The officer noted the driver, later identified as Nevada State Police Lt. Jacob Fisher, “was driving on the bot dots or striping” in the road and traveling at more than 80 mph in the 35-mph zone.
“[The officer] also claimed that the vehicle was going so fast that dirt and dust was flying in the air from the roadway,” documents said.
The officer followed the car onto Cactus Avenue and into a gated neighborhood, finding it parked in a driveway, documents said.
“As [the officer] approached the vehicle, he activated his emergency lights and siren,” documents said. “[The officer] said that a white male adult exited the [driver’s] seat of the vehicle, looked over [the officer] and walked into the garage of the residence.”
