Amador Gets All Thuggy

Turns out the rumors were true. Attorney Michael Amador pulled a gun on two men in the parking lot of a PT's pub on Thanksgiving morning and got himself beat up and arrested.

According to the police report, Amador followed three men out of the bar, apparently believing that one of them had taken $200 off a pool table. Amador pulled a gun from his waistband (he has had a CCW) and hit the rear window of a vehicle one of the men got into, shattering it.

The weapon Amador pulled was an FN 57, coincidentally the same weapon used in the Fort Hood massacre (see yesterday's comments for a discussion regarding whether or not this particular type of gun constitutes a "cannon").

At one point, Amador pointed the gun at the two remaining men. The two men then tackled Amador and wrestled the gun away from him, doing enough damage in the process that Amador had to be treated at Sunrise Hospital before being taken to Clark County Detention Center.

On an interesting side note, the bartender who was on duty at PT's that morning is one of Amador's clients in a pending case.

Amador is facing two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and injury to the property of another. According to LV Now, he is facing up to 12 years in prison if convicted.

Thanksgiving Leftovers

Apparently the shenanigans don't stop just because we take a long weekend. Here are some of the stories we missed while stuffing ourselves:

Attorney Michael Amador reportedly pulled a gun on someone in a bar on Wednesday night and was arrested. He had to be taken to the hospital before he was booked. Keep it real, G.

The LV Sun is reporting that Judge Hottie filed for divorce from Ed "Puppy Strangler" Miley on November 13 citing "incompatibility." The pictures on the right of the Sun's story will give you a little hint as to what that "incompatibility" was. We have conflicting information, however, because one of our commenters reported the following on November 22nd:

Was out this weekend and saw Randy and Stefany Miley. Apparently he is out of rehab. They were holding hands, kissing - lovy dovey stuff. So it looks like she has no backbone and is taking him back.

Sing it with us: Tale as old as time ...

State Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford pulled a "Libo" outside the Aviary Park in North Las Vegas and got busted by Channel 13. Here's Horsford's explanation:

I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused in inadvertently parking in an unauthorized parking space.

Inadvertently? Yeah, right. See the full story to get a feel for how big of a pussy the Senator is being over fessing up to his mistake.

Finally, Nevada Appeal is running an AP story that confirms U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has interviewed both Clark County District Judge Elissa Cadish and Clark County Chief Deputy District Attorney Gloria Navarro to fill the open Sandoval/Jones U.S. District Court seat.

Las Vegas attorney Kathy England said Reid's consideration of the women is in line with President Barrack Obama's emphasis on diversifying the federal bench. Okeydokey. No more penises ... got it.

Looks like we have our short list, Cadish said she expects a decision "relatively quickly."

CCC Goes After Scheetz

The dark horse of our billboard/advertising firm battle royal, C. Conrad Claus, has joined forces with Michael J. Amador to hit the sexually deviant former-CEO of Morgan's Hotel where it really hurts.

Ed Scheetz (yes, that's his real name) apparently likes it rough (full story and police report from 2007). According to a Complaint filed in federal court on Friday (Case 2:09-cv-01653-RLH-RJJ), the family of the girl he may or may not have killed would like to be reimbursed for the loss of her daughter.

So, what are your damages when you go after a former hotel fat cat for wrongful death? How about $650,000,075.00 (yes, six hundred fifty million and seventy five dollars), plus funeral expenses and, of course, reasonable attorney's fees. God bless our federal courts and their non-restrictive pleading practices.

We're hoping that if CCC gets anywhere near that amount he will hang up his hard shoes and call it a career, riding off into the sunset in his gold-plated Bentley.

Oh, and if would like keep up with what sexy Ed is doing nowadays, he has a Twitter account that he regularly updates. Just like us!

The tip we received contained a copy of the Complaint with some fairly graphic exhibits attached. In order to keep our 'lil blog wholesome, you'll all just have to use your imaginations (or look it up yourselves).
