LAS VEGAS — A judge granted the release of search warrants and financial information Monday regarding Robert Telles, the former Clark County official charged in the slaying of investigative reporter Jeff German.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal filed a motion for copies of any search warrants executed during the Metropolitan Police Department’s investigation into Telles. The newspaper also joined a motion for a copy of the financial affidavit submitted by Telles before public defenders were appointed to represent him.
Telles signed the financial affidavit Sept. 20 indicating that he does not “have the ability to pay for an attorney.” The document listed multiple reasons for him to provide, such as being unemployed or receiving Social Security benefits, but Telles only checked a box next to “currently incarcerated,” according to a copy of the form released Monday.
