LAS VEGAS — A police officer was arrested
Monday on a charge of involuntary manslaughter, accusing him of killing
an unarmed man with a martial arts-type neck hold after a chase through a
Las Vegas Strip casino, authorities said.
Kenneth Lopera, 31, posted $6,000 bail and was
released from jail with an August court date in the May 14 choking
death of 40-year-old Tashii S. Brown after a chase through back hallways
of The Venetian casino.
Lopera will plead not guilty to involuntary manslaughter and a second
charge of oppression under color of office, Las Vegas Police Protective
Association official Steve Grammas said. He could face up to up to eight
years in state prison on the two charges.
