The Clark County District Attorney’s office is seeking to remove Robert Telles from office amid allegations that the public officially brutally murdered Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative journalist Jeff German earlier this month. In a Tuesday complaint filed in Clark County, the District Attorney’s Office alleged that since Telles has been arrested in connection with the Sept. 2 murder, he has “neglected to perform” his duties as Clark County Public Administrator. Despite being held on bond, Telles is still the head of the agency dedicated to helping Las Vegans handle the estates of the newly deceased. “Clark County has taken the first step in asking the court to remove Robert Telles from elected office,” Clark County said statement in a Tuesday statement. The county added that after Telles is removed from office, it will appoint his replacement until voters elect a new public administrator in November.
