Nevada State Senator Edgar Flores has reached a resolution in his DUI case after being arrested last year for being found asleep behind the wheel. Under a plea deal, Flores will complete DUI school, attend a victim impact panel, and pay a $685 fine, with the charge being reduced to careless driving once those requirements are met.
Why it matters
Drunk driving cases involving public officials can raise questions about accountability and the application of the law. This resolution allows Flores to avoid more serious penalties for a first offense while still facing consequences through the legal system.
The details
Las Vegas Metro Police arrested Flores after he was found asleep behind the wheel. Flores did not appear in court, but his attorney entered a no contest plea on his behalf. The plea deal will reduce the original DUI charge to careless driving once Flores completes the required DUI program, victim impact panel, and pays the fine.
