Veteran Boulder City Police Officer Held Without Bail

A veteran police officer from Boulder City was ordered held without bail Monday afternoon after authorities say he threatened to shoot judges and lawyers.

Jeffrey Grasso was already facing charges of stealing from his disabled son, and had an encounter with Henderson police last week where he was charged with resisting a public officer and making threats concerning an act of terrorism.

Grasso is awaiting trial on two counts of exploitation of a vulnerable person and multiple counts of theft.

According to an indictment, Grosso forged invoices from the Hyperbaric Institute of Nevada in order to falsely withdraw more than $10,000 in charitable accounts between January 2014 and May 2016.

After his indictment, the Boulder City Police Department said the 15-year veteran of the force was placed on unpaid leave pending the results of his criminal case.
