Governor Lombardo Stops for Red Light | San Francisco News

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo got pulled over for allegedly running a red light before a right turn—only to walk away without a ticket after a brief, friendly exchange with the officer. The stop, which occurred May 15th as he headed to the airport with his wife, sparked political buzz ahead of his reelection bid against the Democratic Attorney General. Though the police didn’t disclose the exact reason for letting him go, insiders and law enforcement officials say it’s routine: officers often waive minor infractions when they know the driver and there are no outstanding warrants. Lombardo’s former role as Las Vegas Sheriff likely played a part, with the police union noting it’s not unusual for someone in his position to have no legal issues. The governor’s campaign praised the officer’s professionalism, and while the video surfaced months before Election Day, many are calling it a non-issue—just another day on the job for a cop who knows the governor.
