Edmon Herron, subject to an extraditable warrant from Harris County, Texas, became the center of a pursuit by officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s Sex Offender Apprehension Program, aiming to arrest him.

During the pursuit, Herron allegedly engaged in high-speed driving exceeding 100 mph in active school zones, prompting law enforcement caution and public safety concerns, leading to their decision not to pursue him.
