Las Vegas Halloween Sweep Arrests 14 Suspected Sex Offenders in Multi-Agency Operation

During a stringent enforcement operation that spanned from October 28 to November 1, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) coordinated with multiple agencies, resulting in the arrest of 14 individuals identified as sex offenders. The operation, notably taking place over the Halloween period, involved contacting 878 registered sex offenders to ensure compliance with registration laws, as reported by

According to the police, six were apprehended for failing to obey sex offender laws, while the other eight faced the repercussions for sex offense violations and outstanding warrants. The LVMPD publicized the names of the six offenders, which included individuals such as 64-year-old Alfred Irby, 27-year-old Brandon Snail, and 39-year-old Jarrod Pounds. This information was derived from the concerted efforts of the LVMPD along with the U.S. Marshals Service Nevada Violent Offender Task Force, Nevada State Police, Boulder City, and Clark County Police in a multi-jurisdictional operation meant to ensure the protection ordinances that are designed to keep communities safe, especially on occasions where children may be particularly vulnerable, like Halloween.

Succinctly stated by

, “Metro police said sex offenders who are required to register must verify their address with law enforcement according to the tier that has been assigned to them.” To educate the public on the measures to protect themselves, the police emphasized the availability of Offender Watch, an online resource and app that provides locations of registered sex offenders, which can be used by parents to steer their children away from potential risks.

Each of the arrested individuals faces consequences in alignment with their specific tier of offense. As per LVMPD’s guidelines, Tier 3 offenders are required to check in quarterly, Tier 2 offenders bi-annually, and Tier 1 offenders annually. As the community has access to resources like OffenderWatch.com, monitoring and managing these offenders becomes a collaborative effort between law enforcement and the residents they vow to serve, furthering the vigilance, especially during times such as Halloween, when the safety of the young is of heightened concern.
