Officer James Clayton Arrested on 5 Counts of Misconduct
North Las Vegas Police Detectives arrested 40-year-old James Vernon Clayton Tuesday morning.
Clayton has over three years of service with the North Las Vegas Police Department.
He was arrested and booked into the Clark County Detention Center on five counts of misconduct of a public officer (felony), two counts of oppression under color of office (felony), and one count of open and gross lewdness (gross misdemeanor).
Clayton was arrested on a warrant obtained after a five month investigation conducted by North Las Vegas Police Department Investigators.
That investigation was prompted by third party allegations of misconduct on Clayton's part while he was on duty as a patrol officer for the department.
Clayton has been on paid administrative leave during the investigation and remains in that status.
