Police: Suspect pointed handgun at officers before Las Vegas standoff

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is investigating after a woman was found dead lying on a sidewalk in the East Valley.

An armored truck was robbed Friday morning in northeast Las Vegas, turning an ordinary rush hour near East Cheyenne Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard into an active crime scene, police said. The call came in a little after 9:30 a.

In a news release, LVMPD announced the arrest of 47-year-old Jason De La Garrigue, who officials say was assigned to the department's Airport Bureau.

An impaired driver struck an officer and a paramedic in Las Vegas, causing non-life-threatening injuries to both and damaging the ambulance and patrol vehicle, while the driver remains at large.

A Saturday out near downtown Las Vegas took a sharp turn when a heavy police response outside Atomic Golf shut down a stretch of Main Street and sent traffic into gridlock. Officers set up a barricade around the scene, and at least one person was reported injured as emergency units packed into the busy entertainment corridor.
