Wanted Las Vegas woman arrested after commenting under news post about her case on social media

A Las Vegas, Nevada, woman with seven DUI arrests wanted for allegedly cutting off her ankle monitor was taken back into custody after commenting on a news article posted to Facebook.

Marion Reyes, 36, turned herself in to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's Traffic Bureau on Friday, the day after a post from the Bureau asked the public for help locating her and purported that she cut off her ankle monitor.

"I never cut it off!!! An officer cut it off when I turned myself in. They continued to release me," Reyes commented on Facebook under a news post from News 8 saying police need help finding her.

The Traffic Bureau responded, "Then why not turn yourself in now? Let’s get this sorted out tonight."

Reyes spoke with an intervention officer Thursday night and surrendered on Friday, the Bureau said.

Last week, a judge ordered Reyes to spend two days in jail for missing a court date during a felony DUI program, according to News 8.

As part of a plea deal reached after Reyes was arrested in October for a DUI, which was her seventh since 2007, her last three DUI charges were reduced to one, and she was permitted to attend a treatment program. If she is charged with DUI again, Reyes will be sent to prison.

Reyes must serve at least six months of home confinement and must have a device on her car.

Before October, she was previously arrested on DUI charges in April 2007, September 2010, April 2019, February 2020, July 2020 and August 2022, records show. At least two of the DUI accusations led to convictions.

The Nevada DMV last revoked her license in June 2022.

Texas man shoots and kills girlfriend because she had an abortion he opposed: police

A Texas man who was against his girlfriend having an abortion shot and killed her during an argument in a Dallas parking lot after she returned from receiving the procedure, according to police.

Harold Thompson, 22, is being held in the Dallas County Jail on a murder charge without bond.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit, Thompson and his girlfriend, 26-year-old Gabriella Gonzalez, were together on Wednesday when he attempted to put her in a chokehold.

"It is believed that the suspect was the father of the child," the affidavit said. "The suspect did not want [Gonzalez] to get an abortion."

NEVADA ADVANCES MEASURE TO ENSHRINE ABORTION RIGHTS INTO STATE CONSTITUTION

Most abortions have been banned in Texas, with exceptions for medical emergencies, since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last summer. Abortions after a heartbeat is detected, which is typically around six weeks of pregnancy, have been prohibited since September 2021. Private citizens could sue anyone who aided and abetted an abortion under the 2021 law.

The incident between Thompson and Gonzalez occurred the day after she returned from receiving an abortion in Colorado.

Surveillance video from the parking lot shows Gonzalez "shrugs him off" before the couple continued walking, police said. Thompson then pulls out a gun and shoots Gonzalez in the head. He shoots her multiple times after she fell to the ground and then fled the scene, according to the affidavit.

Thompson was arrested later on Wednesday.

Gonzalez’s sister was at the scene and heard the gunshots, police said. Another witness observed Thompson attempting to choke Gonzalez but was unable to report the incident to the police since she did not have her cell phone with her.

Before the shooting, Thompson had already been charged with assault after he was accused of choking a woman in March.

The affidavit from the March incident does not specifically name Gonzalez as the victim, but it does state that the woman told police Thompson beat her up multiple times throughout their relationship and that Thompson informed the police at the time that she was pregnant with his child.

The woman "reiterated that she is scared of the suspect because he had made threats to harm her family and her children," the affidavit read.
