Police: Tracking device found on Clark County GOP chairman’s ex-fiancee’s car
Clark County Republican Party Chairman Jesse Law faces a stalking charge in Las Vegas Justice Court after a tracking device was found on his ex-fiancee’s vehicle, according to court and police records.
A criminal complaint filed in July alleges that between March 21, 2024, and April 2024, Law placed an electronic tracking device on the woman’s vehicle and her phone, which caused her to “feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, harassed, or fearful for her immediate safety.”
In April, Law was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery with the same woman. The district attorney’s office declined to pursue the charge.
Police say the woman brought her vehicle to a Jiffy Lube, where an employee examined the car and found a tracker attached to the underside of her vehicle. The woman said Law had also put a tracking app on her cell phone. After she found the tracking app, she decided to also get her vehicle examined, according to a police report.
The tracking device was impounded as evidence, and police found it was made by “Land, Air, Sea” and purchased on Amazon. Investigators referenced the serial number of the tracker and found that it had been purchased by Law and activated on March 21, 2024, police say.
Law, who has pleaded not guilty, was not present in court Wednesday, but attorney Lisa Rasmussen represented him for a negotiation hearing, in which the parties agreed to allow more time for discovery. His next hearing is scheduled for Jan. 22, and Justice of the Peace Amy Wilson renewed a no-contact order that was set to expire in a couple of days.
“We prefer to litigate our case in court, not the media,” Rasmussen told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “We don’t have comments to make on the case at this time.”
The Clark County GOP chairman also faces a charge of forgery by uttering forged instruments in Carson City over his role in the “fake electors” case from the 2020 presidential election, in which he and five other Nevada Republicans submitted fake documents declaring Donald Trump the winner of Nevada.
A Clark County judge dismissed that case in June, ruling that she lacked jurisdiction to hear the case because the alleged crimes occurred in Carson City and Douglas County. Attorney General Aaron Ford’s office appealed the ruling to the Nevada Supreme Court and filed charges in Northern Nevada.
