June 2022 A Las Vegas police detective facing assault charges turned himself in on Thursday after a warrant for his arrest was issued in connection with an off-duty road rage incident last month. By late Thursday afternoon, the detective, Colin Snyder, had been released from custody on his own recognizance, court records show. On May 19, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Snyder got into an altercation with a driver in a neighborhood about 12 miles northwest of the Strip. He faces two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon. In addition, Snyder faces one count of oppression under the color of office - a charge reserved for an act committed by a peace officer under the appearance of authority but exceeds such authority, according to state law.

On March 27, 2007, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was ordered to pay $1.48 million to settle a federal lawsuit alleging Las Vegas police gave special treatment to an officer's wife who hit and killed a bicyclist in 1994. The settlement ends 13 years of legal fighting that began shortly after Erin DeLew was killed while riding her bike home from a Summerlin supermarket. The driver, Janet Wagner, had been drinking alcohol that evening but was never charged, according to court documents. The lawsuit contended that her husband, Officer David Wagner, and his fellow officers knew she had been drinking but covered it up and delayed calling the Nevada Highway Patrol, which eventually took over the investigation.[13]

He was circling an apartment complex when someone reportedly called in a report of a burglar. The police responded boxing in Gibson's vehicle and ordering him to come out. He did not. Police then planned to extract him from the SUV. The arrival of a senior officer, Lieutenant David Dockendorf, caused some confusion in how to proceed when Gibson gunned his vehicle's engine. In the confusion, Arevalo killed the unarmed man with four shots from an AR-15 assault rifle
