Here are the top three stories today in Las Vegas:

  1. A Clark County court has determined that a man accused of leading local police on a chase and shooting at officers cannot stand trial due to incompetence. Justin Venegas was arrested on Thursday, Aug. 11, after the police chase that went across the Las Vegas valley. Two officers suffered injuries during the pursuit due to collisions. He has been ordered to remain detained in federal custody pending trial. (News3LV)
  2. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is searching for four robbery suspects. The individuals allegedly robbed a local store at gunpoint. The department has not released the store's information or the area where the robbery occurred. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the department.

  3. A Nevada judge has rejected the Republic National Committee's claim that Las Vegas election officials "stacked" the mail ballot signature verification panel against the Republican party. The rejection was filed by Judge Timothy Williams through a written decision in the court record. The RNC's argument was dismissed as a "big stretch" by the judge. (Fox News)
