Deputy Brian Nelson – Nye County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In 2017, Deputy Brian Nelson, along with other officers, permitted an impaired driver, Kenneth Kennedy, to continue driving despite clear signs of intoxication. This decision resulted in a fatal head-on collision that killed three people. Nelson was aware of Kennedy’s impairment and, along with others, failed to prevent him from driving, leading to allegations of deliberate indifference to public safety.
