Nevada Governor Not Ticketed After Being Pulled over in a Traffic Stop
Body-camera video shows Joe Lombardo complied with officers during a red-light stop, and it remains unclear whether he received a citation.
- On May 15, 2026, a Metropolitan Police Department sergeant pulled over Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo near Mandalay Bay while driving a Ford pickup truck with his wife, Donna.
- Body camera footage shows Lombardo immediately cutting off the officer by stating, "I'm Joe Lombardo," before the sergeant could explain the reason for the stop.
- Following an interaction lasting about 15 seconds, the officer replied, "You're good to go, sir," releasing Lombardo without issuing a citation.
- Steve Grammas, president of the Las Vegas Police Protective Association, defended the sergeant's decision, calling it "an absolutely nothing car stop." Lombardo's campaign stated the governor did not seek preferential treatment.
- Lombardo, who served as Clark County sheriff for eight years, faces continued public interest after the Las Vegas Police Protective Association released the body camera footage.
