🚨 DRONE PROVIDES EYES OVERHEAD DURING VEHICLE VANDALISM CALL At approximately 9:40 a.m. on June 17, LVMPD Communications received a report of a man damaging a vehicle outside a store near Tropicana Avenue and Nellis Boulevard. A remote drone launched from a nearby LVMPD Skyport and quickly arrived overhead, where it captured the suspect striking the vehicle’s windows with a bicycle seat and a brick. The drone pilot provided real-time updates to responding officers, giving them critical information before they reached the scene. While officers were heading to the call, Good Samaritans had intervened and subdued the suspect. David Huerta Salgado, 39, was arrested and booked on multiple felony, gross misdemeanor and misdemeanor charges, including destroying or injuring property valued at $5,000 or more, injuring or tampering with a vehicle, resisting a public officer and possession of drug paraphernalia. This is another example of how LVMPD’s remote drone program provides officers with immediate situational awareness while helping us respond more safely and effectively. Event: LLV260600062399

🚨JUST IN🚨 Federal prosecutors are looking to DISMISS a felony vandalism charge against former U.S. Olympian David Hearn after he was accused of damaging the reflecting pools in Washington, D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro stated that the Department of the Interior had provided only “barebones” reports at the outset and withheld records detailing significant problems with the coating’s installation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ "Had DOI been forthcoming with the information clearly in its possession, the government would not have sought a grand jury indictment," according to the DOJ. After the indictment, the DOI provided new documents that the damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was the result of flawed installation by the contractor. This would have created reasonable doubt. According to U.S. Park Police, on June 19 he grabbed and pulled at a loose section of the pool’s coating and continued even after a National Park Service employee instructed him to stop. They claimed the damages he allegedly caused exceeded $1,000.

BREAKING: Trump says the Reflecting Pool has reopened after vandalism damage, with full repairs set to begin after July 4. He also warned anyone who damages federal monuments could face up to 10 years in prison.
