ACLU challenges Nevada’s public records exemption in court

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — The ACLU of Nevada presented a case before the Nevada Supreme Court on Tuesday, challenging the Clark County School District’s (CCSD) refusal to release records related to a 2023 incident at Durango High School.

The incident involved a police officer throwing a student to the ground. CCSD claims the records are part of an “investigative file,” making them exempt from public disclosure.

The court will decide if public agencies can withhold records by labeling them as such. ACLU Executive Director Athar Haseebullah stated, “This case is really going to determine whether or not public agencies can hide records from the public by simply labeling them as investigative files. Public agencies should not act transparently.”

Ex-NBA star Lamar Odom arrested on suspicion of DUI in Nevada

LAS VEGAS — Former NBA star Lamar Odom was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Las Vegas over the weekend, authorities said Tuesday.

Odom, 46, was pulled over Saturday on Interstate 15 near Harry Reid International Airport, according to Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Shawn Haggstrom.

He could face charges including DUI, excessive speed and failure to properly maintain a travel lane, Haggstrom said.

Haggstrom didn’t have attorney information for Odom. An email seeking comment from a sports agent for Odom wasn’t immediately returned.

Clark County jail records showed that Odom was no longer in custody as of Tuesday.

Odom won championships in 2009 and 2010 with the Los Angeles Lakers. He also played for the LA Clippers, Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks during a 14-year NBA career.

His 2013 marriage to Khloe Kardashian was tabloid fodder and the couple appeared together on a reality TV show before divorcing months later. That same year, Odom was arrested for DUI in Los Angeles.

In 2015, Odom made headlines after suffering a medical episode during a stay at a legal brothel in Nevada called Love Ranch.

Nevada SPCA’s Community Support Program aims to keep pets with their owners

Las Vegas (KSNV) — The Nevada SPCA’s Community Support Program is addressing the needs of pet owners facing financial difficulties by providing access to crucial veterinary services.

Funded through grants and donations, the initiative aims to keep pets with their families during challenging times, preventing unnecessary surrenders to shelters.

The shelter shared the story of Elektra, a dog who was rescued from an abusive environment. After being taken in by a homeless owner, the two formed a strong bond while living on the streets.

When Elektra fell seriously ill after securing transitional housing, her owner couldn’t afford veterinary care and turned to the Community Support Program.

Thanks to their assistance, Elektra received the necessary treatment and has since recovered, continuing to live happily with her owner.

“Stories like Elektra’s demonstrate why accessible veterinary care is so critical,” said Nevada SPCA Executive Director Lori Heeren.

“No one should have to choose between their pet’s health and their own stability. Our Community Support Program exists to ensure that pets remain with their families, even during life’s most challenging moments.”
