D.A. working on deal with billionaire charged with drug trafficking
The preliminary hearing into drug trafficking charges against billionaire Henry Nicholas, the man behind the victims’ rights measure Marsy’s Law, was postponed for the second time Tuesday.
Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson told the Current the state is in negotiations with attorneys for Nicholas, who was arrested in Las Vegas in August 2018 with Ashley Fargo, the former wife of a descendant of the founders of Wells Fargo.
Police say large amounts of narcotics, including methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, heroin, pills believed to be ecstasy, and hallucinogenic mushrooms were found in a Las Vegas hotel room belonging to Nicholas and Fargo.
Nicholas and Fargo are free without bond. The two did not appear in court.
Nicholas, who funds efforts throughout the U.S. to pass Marsy’s Law, has avoided convictions in the past involving allegations of drug use. Prosecutors in a previous case requested the judge drop the charges against Nicholas over charges of prosecutorial misconduct.
