Not Guilty for Las Vegas Officers in False Arrest Suit
District Court jurors cleared the City of Las Vegas and seven police officers in a $1 million false arrest suit filed by Joseph J. Jaros and Elmer J. Sepedo. The plaintiffs claimed police broke into homes on January 6, 1967, handcuffed them, and held them for 10 hours without charges. Prosecutors said the suspects were sought in a burglary at Temple Beth Sholom. Judge Willam P. Compton presided. Edward Marshall and Harry Reid argued for plaintiffs and defense respectively.
