A North Las Vegas police officer was arrested last week on suspicion of DUI, officials said.
Las Vegas police arrested Dwight Kuykendall on Saturday, said North Las Vegas police spokesman Alex Cuevas. Kuykendall faces a criminal offense for child abuse or neglect and offenses for DUI, failure to report an unsupervised vehicle or property accident, breach of duty in the event of damage to an unsupervised vehicle or other property, and failure to follow lanes while driving, as court records show.
Kuykendall, 46, has been with the department for 14 years, Cuevas said.
Further information about Kuykendall’s arrest was not immediately available. He has been put on paid administrative leave, Cuevas said.
Kuykendall was released from custody on his own on Sunday, court records show. He is due to appear again in court on January 12th.
