Robert Theodore Holmes

March 12th, 2010

On 03/12/2010 the Nye County Sheriff’s Office received a complaint from an out of state police officer who was in Pahrump on official police business.

The police officer reported that he was approached by a male, later identified as Robert Theodore Holmes, 56, Pahrump, Nevada, at the Pahrump Nugget. He reported that Holmes flashed some sort of “deputy” badge at him and advised him he was committing a crime by having his gun visible with a badge from another state. Holmes further told him that an arrest could be made in this situation.

NCSO General Assignment detectives obtained a search warrant for Holmes’s person to obtain the badge and wallet.

NCSO General Assignment detectives and street crime deputies located Holmes and advised him that they had a search warrant for his wallet. Holmes informed the detectives that they were not going to get the wallet from him. He then obstructed and resisted detective’s efforts to secure his wallet pursuant to the search warrant.

Holmes was taken into custody and the evidence was seized.

Holmes was booked into the Nye County Sheriff’s Office on the above charges and is currently awaiting bail ($3132.00).

All press inquiries should be addressed to Assistant Sheriff Richard Marshall at 775-751-7000.
