Las Vegas Man Charged for Tying Up Kids to Watch Basketball Game
Twenty-year-old Jonathan Weaver was charged in June with child abuse, child endangerment, kidnapping, and attempted murder in Nevada for allegedly tying up his girlfriend's children so he could go to a bar to watch a basketball game. Yesterday he pleaded not guilty in Clark County District Court.
In June, Weaver's neighbor called the cops after hearing children crying in a garage. Las Vegas Metro found two infant boys tied in their car seats. They were also hooded and had been there for two hours. The police claim Weaver was angry he had to babysit the kids and tied them up so he could go watch the NBA Finals Match-up at a bar.
Attempted murder in Nevada may carry the death penalty unless mitigating factors outweigh the aggravating factors.
