Las Vegas Marijuana Shop Closed After Federal Raid

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A Las Vegas consulting firm that says it helps clients obtain medical marijuana has lost its business license amid allegations that it illegally sold the drug.

Dr. Reefer advertises on billboards around Las Vegas.

Clark County revoked the company business license Thursday after Las Vegas police reported that undercover officers bought marijuana from it between December 2009 and September 2010.

The report to county commissioners came after police and federal drug enforcement officers raided the business in September. No arrests were made.

Nevada law allows patients to use marijuana grown at home with a doctor's approval.

But the drug can't be legally bought or sold for medicinal purposes.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada says the county acted improperly by shuttering the business without proof of wrongdoing.

Former Police Officer Arrested in Plot to Kill Girlfriend

LAS VEGAS -- Las Vegas police have arrested a former police officer in a plot to kill his girlfriend.

Police say shortly after 7:00 p.m. on November 9, detectives arrested 42-year-old William Ronald Webb for trafficking in a controlled substance, conspiracy to commit murder, and conspiracy to commit a crime.

Webb is accused of plotting to kill his girlfriend, attorney Nancy Quon, by giving her large amounts the GHB. Police say they do not know whether Quon was suicidal and involved in the plot.

Webb was arrested at the Green Valley Ranch parking lot, where he and Quon were living after a fire in their home in late October.

Quon was a prominent attorney in Las Vegas before becoming involved in HOA investigations carried out by the FBI. Quon is alleged to have funneled millions of dollars in bogus construction defect lawsuits.

"We were so excited. We were so ecstatic walking up the ramp. We were like can you believe we are here?" remembered Victoria Alvarez.

Group Alleges Inequality in High School Sports

LAS VEGAS -- The Clark County School District now finds itself having to defend against accusations its unfair to female athletes. The district is the target of a federal complaint filed by a women's law group.

Taylor Lommason is a sophomore soccer player at Silverado High School.

"There's not really a lot of support from the school. The principal doesn't even know we have soccer games," she said. "I think they should start putting up posters and saying you should come to the games. They're good -- especially home games. We play and have three people in the stands watching us. It's just not fun."

CCSD declined requests to interview high school principals. A federal complaint filed by the National Women's Law Center accused Clark County and 11 other nationwide school districts with neglecting to create equal sports opportunities for girls.
