Five days after the violent slaying of investigative reporter Jeff German, police arrested an elected public official who had been the subject of a series of high-profile stories by the slain journalist that uncovered claims of bullying and retaliation. Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles was taken into custody by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department at his home in western Las Vegas around 6:30 p.m., just hours after investigators concluded a search of his property. The Las Vegas Review-Journal, where German, 69, had worked for decades, was the first to report the news of the arrest. Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo told the newspaper that Telles was arrested on suspicion of murder. German was found dead Sept. 3 with stab wounds outside his home, about five miles from Telles' home, according to police. Authorities believe he was killed a day earlier during an altercation in the "late morning hours."
