When there is a Nevada State Police officer DUI arrest, and the officer is on the wrong side of it, that’s an issue.

But we seldom expect a Nevada State Police officer DUI arrest. But that is exactly what happened on Friday on the outskirts of the Mountain's Edge community in the southwest Las Vegas valley.
NSP Lieutenant Jacob Fisher was allegedly spotted by a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officer barreling down Fort Apache Road near Mountain's Edge Parkway going over 80 miles an hour in a 35 mile per hour zone. As if that wasn't bad enough, Metro says he was observed weaving over the lanes.
He was allegedly seen turning into a gated community off of Cactus Avenue and that is when Metro flashed their lights, as Fisher parked in his minivan in his driveway. Fisher allegedly failed to comply with the Metro officer's request to come over and headed into his garage.
Eventually, Metro says he walked out of the garage and claimed he hadn't had anything to drink that night, but that he drank a "****-ton" of alcohol a couple days prior. He failed a field sobriety test on site and was taken into custody. He is due in court in January.
Nevada State Police Officer DUI Arrest Near Site Of Zaon Collins Fatal Collision
Driving like a bat out of hell along the perimeter of the Las Vegas valley is nothing new in the Mountain's Edge area. Only a couple blocks north of where the Nevada State Police officer DUI was initially spotted is where Zaon Collins, the former Bishop Gorman star basketball player headed to UNLV was traveling near 90 miles an hour while drunk and high on Fort Apache Road when he collided into 52 year old Eric Echevarria exiting the Crescent Valley subdivision. Eric died.
Zaon was sentenced in a plea deal to three months at CCDC and three years probation.
There has been a massive need to get local law enforcement to police this stretch of road, but when the police themselves are doing the speeding, what then?
