A six-year veteran Las Vegas police officer is facing felony charges of aggravated stalking, attempted home invasion and destroying or injuring the real property of another.

Officer Jake Freeman, who joined the force in 2017, was arrested and booked into the Henderson Detention Center on Sunday, according to a release from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Freeman is assigned to the community policing division of Metro’s Summerlin Area Command, the release stated.
