State prosecutors are calling out suspended Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sergeant Kevin Menon in new court documents obtained by Channel 13.
Menon is facing charges in two separate criminal cases related to illegal arrest tactics on the Strip and possession of child sex abuse material .
Prosecutors called Menon an “(un)talented Mr. Ripley” and a “con.” Now, they want to increase Menon’s bail from $27,000 to $250,000 cash only in his original case.
In the reply to the defendant’s opposition, prosecutors said while out on bail, Menon was found to be in possession of more than 300 images of child sex abuse material.
They also counter several statements made in Menon’s own character letter .
“For instance, Defendant asks this Court to consider his employment at LVMPD as a basis for a low bail. What he conveniently overlooks is the fact that he currently stands charged for crimes he committed while wearing the badge,” prosecutors said.
Menon wrote in his character letter that he was the only recruit at the LVMPD to teach a class while also attending the academy.
