Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department body-worn camera video footage shows that on the night of the October 1 mass shooting, police found five Mandalay Bay security officers hiding in a restaurant on the casino level of the hotel instead of protecting customers.

According to an LVMPD 911 Communications Center dispatch log, at 10:37 p.m.  on October 1, 2017, the officer identified as 3Mary15, who is inside the Mandalay Bay Hotel calls in and states, “I’m with a four-man group, we’re clearing the casino floor right now.”

3Mary15’s BWC shows several Mandalay Bay security officers patrolling on the casino floor as the police team is clearing various venues inside the hotel.  The BWC footage has no time/date stamp.  Audio from the BWC was correlated with the police radio dispatch log to obtain the approximate times for this story.

When the footage begins you can clearly see a uniformed Mandalay Bay security officer laying on the floor getting patted down by the police.  Why the police would be doing a pat down of security officers is unknown.

At 1:25 into the video 3Mary15 who is armed with a shotgun yells out to hotel guests that are walking on the casino floor; “Do not try to run, you’re going to get yourself shot.” 

At 2:54 into the video a security officer walks by the police and is called back by a police officer who asks him if someone can get them to Surveillance.  The S/O tells them that they already have a couple of Metro officers in Surveillance already, and the group then continues on.

At 8:02 into the video two Mandalay Bay uniformed security officers are observed on the casino floor directing guests where to go.  One of the security officers then hands an LVMPD sergeant his master keys.  At the same time, this is occurring, another police officer is telling his group that he heard on the radio that they have a suspect on Tropicana and Koval Lane near an RV. The 911 Communications Center dispatch radio log indicates that transmission went out at 10:43 p.m.

At 9:50 into the video you can see a Mandalay Bay security bike patrol officer passing in front of the House of Blues restaurant and he keeps walking by.

One of the police officers then directs his group’s attention to the left which is the entrance to the restaurant, noticing some people inside to the rear.  He gives the command, “Hands up everybody, start walking this way.”

Ten people start walking towards the police from the rear of the restaurant.

Four appear to be guests, one is a restaurant employee wearing an apron, and five are uniformed Mandalay Bay security officers.

One is wearing the yellow shirt and black shorts of a security bike patrol officer who is equipped with a radio and appears to be armed with a weapon on his right side.  They are all patted down and told where to go.

Officials say the names of up to 7,200 registered sex offenders in Nevada are due to be posted on a state website Oct. 1, after the state Supreme Court lifted a block on enforcement of a 2007 state law.

A lawyer who two years ago won a delay of enactment of the law on behalf of 17 unnamed plaintiffs says she’ll keep arguing that the law is unconstitutional.

Attorney Margaret McLetchie says that if mistakes are made publishing someone’s name, it can’t be undone.

The Nevada Department of Public Safety says the unanimous court decision on April 27 aligns Nevada with the federal Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006.

It will list offenders in three tiers, from the most dangerous in Tier 3 to those assessed as least likely to reoffend in Tier 1.

OJ Simpson has violated his Parole again with a public drunk display at a local bar that caught the attention of more than a few locals. According to insiders, he was drinking at the Grape Street Wine Bar, and people were lined up to buy him drinks. He got so drunk that he had to wander into the bathroom to throw up. The conditions of Juice’s parole allow him to “consume alcoholic beverages but not to excess.” O.J. will occasionally be tested for it, but if his BAC is under .08   there’s no issue.

So why isn’t he being violated? Because the Department of Parole and Probation in Nevada is closed on the weekend, and he’s not doing tests on Saturday or Sunday. So he’s being photographed completely drunk, but 72 hours later he’s “in the clear.”

One witness, is the former manager of Wolfgang Puck’s Spago, and a restaurant in Downtown Summerlin, Darren Levaton. He was at the bar when OJ Simpson was drunk. According to him, “t was really pathetic to see a group lining up to buy OJ drinks to the point he could barely walk.”

Levaton continued that he was so drunk, that “he almost fell into me going to the bathroom and then almost fell down leaving. At least he left his car and Ubered it home.”

Patrons upset that OJ Simpson was allowed there, drunk, started tweeting on Twitter including famed Blogger Scott Roeben of Vital Vegas.

Not everyone was upset he was there, but no one wanted to talk to me on record. Most just called me a “liar” and threatened to sue me.

Michael D Burgess, who is in one of the photos with OJ, said he was angry that the photo was up as it the “intention is to do me financial harm.”  He seemed to be an employee and perhaps manager of the restaurant, but wouldn’t identify himself and said he wasn’t commenting on OJ.

This isn’t the first time OJ has been in trouble in Vegas. He was kicked out of the Cosmopolitan after also being drunk and causing a disturbance. 

Since Parole and Probation was closed, I posted on Twitter to them and they responded:

Thanks for your concerns regarding Mr. Simpson. Unfortunately, we don’t provide statements thru Twitter; please contact our headquarters office at 775-684-2600, M-F 8-5, with your concerns regarding his grant of Parole.
