Teen Killed in Crash Identified

Teen Killed in Crash Identified

LAS VEGAS -- The teenager killed in a car rollover crash Monday has been identified as 16-year-old Isaac Sam Polu, according to the Clark County Coroner's Office.

The crash sent two other people to the hospital with critical injuries and closed a Las Vegas freeway interchange ramp for several hours.

Investigators are not sure who was driving the vehicle but believe alcohol was a factor.

Polu was a freshman at Liberty High School.

Clip Joints Investigated After Weekend Stabbing

LAS VEGAS -- This weekend, a man was stabbed after an altercation at an alleged clip joint. Police say tourists are being taken for thousands of dollars at these businesses. 

In the latest incident, police say British tourist Joseph Sherriff was stabbed by a bouncer at the Red Devil, near Spring Mountain Road and Polaris Avenue. Sherriff is in the hospital with life-threatening injuries and his attacker is still at large.

Police arrested Brooke Dugan, Lyeishia Godfrey, Hope Tello, Nicole Cramer, and James Watkins for racketeering, obtaining money under false pretenses, and conspiracy to commit racketeering.

At clip joints, people are tricked into believing they are paying for sex, but are asked for more and more money until they run out. In some cases, it turns violent.

Stabbing Leads to Six Racketeering Arrests

Stabbing Leads to Six Racketeering Arrests

LAS VEGAS -- An early morning stabbing has led to a sex scam investigation and six racketeering arrests.

Metro Police say that a British tourist got into an argument with a bouncer at the business, located near the corner of Spring Mountain Road and Polaris Avenue, when he was stabbed. The tourist is in the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

After investigating the stabbing, officers suspected the business was operating as a "clip joint," or a front where clients or customers are led to believe they will receive some sort of sex act, but instead the people are actually scammed out of money. Sunday evening, officers were getting ready to serve a search warrant at the business to further the investigation.

A total of six people have been arrested for racketeering so far. The bouncer suspected of the stabbing has not been found.

NHP Investigating Fatal Rollover Accident

NHP Investigating Fatal Rollover Accident

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- The Nevada Highway Patrol says a man is dead and two people are hospitalized with critical injuries after a single-vehicle rollover crash on a key Las Vegas-area freeway interchange ramp.

Trooper Jeremie Elliott says all three people were thrown from the Ford Focus during the crash a little after 6 a.m. Monday on the curved ramp from the eastbound 215 Beltway to southbound Interstate 15.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene. Elliott says a man and a woman were taken to University Medical Center.

Investigators aren't sure yet who was driving, but Elliott says it looks like alcohol was a factor in the crash.

The ramp is closed. That's snarling the morning commute for some motorists.
