Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo let go without citation after traffic stop

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo was stopped by a Las Vegas police officer in May for allegedly running a red light while making a right turn. Body camera footage shows Lombardo identifying himself to the officer, who then allowed him to leave without a citation. While the police department did not explicitly state the reason for not issuing a ticket, law enforcement officials suggest it is common practice for minor violations. The incident occurred months before Lombardo's reelection campaign. AI
