🌱 Personal Injury Attorney Sentenced + "DUIBlitz" Operation

Welcome back, Las Vegas! I'm here in your inbox this autumn morning to tell you everything you need to know about what's going on around town.

But first, today's weather:

Sun, some clouds. High: 74 Low: 49.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Las Vegas who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Las Vegas Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories today in Las Vegas:

1. A prominent Las Vegas personal injury attorney has been sentenced to four to ten years in a Nevada prison for stealing nearly $2 million from clients' settlement funds. Matthew Dunkley pleaded guilty to three counts of theft. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department detectives began investigating Dunkley in 2018 after clients reported financial settlement misappropriation. (News3LV)
2. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department performed a "DUIBlitz" last weekend. During the operation, over 140 traffic stops were conducted. The department issued 62 citations and made 13 DUI arrests. One individual was arrested for his third DUI felony. The department will be conducting another "DUIBlitz" this weekend. (KTNV 13 Action News Las Vegas)
3. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is investigating a Monday afternoon shooting. The incident occurred near Fort Apache and Gomer Roads. It is currently unclear what led to the shooting. The department had not made any arrests as of Tuesday evening. (Fox 5 Las Vegas)
