Las Vegas Police Shoot Local Attorney
Last week, Las Vegas Metro shot local attorney Raymond James Duensing several times in the back and arm after he tried to flee from a traffic stop. Police ordered him to exit his vehicle after a records check showed that there was an arrest warrant out for him. When Duensing ran away and reached for a folding knife, police tased and fired at him.
Duensing was booked “in absentia” at the Clark County Detention Center. In the meantime, he’s receiving medical care at the University Medical Center, where his room is guarded by police. He’s expected to make a full recovery.
The Clark County Detention Center (or CCDC) is where most people are booked if they’re arrested in Las Vegas. (People arrested inside the municipal boundaries of Las Vegas are booked at Las Vegas City Jail.) The Clark County Detention Center is located in downtown Las Vegas at 330 South Casino Center Drive, and its main phone number is (702) 671-3900.
