2. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has arrested the motorcycle rider who was allegedly speeding at 115 miles per hour last week. David Kartes has been booked at the Clark County Detention Center on various charges that include driving with a suspended license and disobeying an officer. He claims he was speeding because he was trying to get to work. (News3LV)
3. A Las Vegas pizza restaurant is serving a pizza that requires a medical waiver. Evel Pie's new "The Reaper" pizza is a "five-alarm spicy pie" made with Habanero chile sauce, chili pepper-infused cheese, sriracha-marinated chorizo sausage, and sliced Habanero peppers. Anyone that can eat at least three complete slices of the Reaper will be rewarded with a t-shirt, social media recognition, and a spot on the establishment's "Wall of Legends" plaque.
