It wasn't until Shane Lee Brown's day in court that officials finally looked at mug shots and realized they had the wrong man, according to a lawsuit and court records.
Shane Lee Brown spent days in a Nevada jail on a felony warrant for a crime he didn't commit.
"Had any of the LVMPD or any corrections officers performed any due diligence ... they would have easily determined that Shane Lee Brown has been misidentified as the subject of the warrant," the lawsuit says. Police initially pulled Lee Brown over because "the vehicle was unregistered and without headlights at dusk," according to the Henderson Police incident report, which lists a suspended driver's license and traffic warrants as the reasons for arrest.
"Ms. Phenix advised that the incorrect individual had been arrested on the bench warrant in the instant case," court documents state, noting that the younger Brown was released from custody after his mug shot was compared to the elder Brown. "Mr. Brown admitted to the arresting officers that he knew his driver license was suspended and that he had traffic warrants in Henderson," she said. "The plaintiff in this lawsuit has not presented all the facts and circumstances behind his lawful and proper arrest by Henderson Police, which will be further addressed in the City Attorney’s response to the court.""They are not being sued because they arrested him for traffic ," Bryson.
