U.S. Marshals on Monday arrested a 38-year-old Las Vegas man wanted for attempted murder and sexual assault, a release said.
A Marshals-led arrest team targeting sex offenders took Britt Lairson into custody near Maryland Parkway and Flamingo Road, the release said. Lairson was booked into the Clark County Detention Center, where he is being held without bail. Lairson faces two counts of sexual assault and one each of attempted murder and first-degree kidnapping with a deadly weapon.
