Las Vegas police searching for party supply store robbery suspect
By Katherine Jarvis. CREATED Jun 22, 2015

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) — Police are searching for a suspect who robbed a party supply store near Rampart Boulevard and Alta Drive last week.

The robbery occurred around 1 p.m. Thursday. The suspect walked behind the sales counter and held a knife, pointing it at the clerk and demanding money from the register. He was last seen walking out the front door.

The suspect is described as a white or Hispanic man, about 6 feet tall, heavy build with a small goatee-type beard. He was wearing cargo shots, a gray T-shirt and flip flops.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Central Robbery Section at 702-828-3591 or Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.

Why does this have anything to do with Judge Ochoa? His son makes his own decisions, and he has a great family despite his older son's decisions.

You're just a stupid troll who has blinders on when it comes to anything related to the merits of a case. All you see is that a judge doesn't rule in favor of a veteran, and you decide to get on your soapbox.

I've called and bitched about this a few times. They always transfer me to Membership, who indicates that they are doing some sort of a "transfer" of data from one computer provider/servicer to another. Such a crock of shit. That could be done in a week if that were true.

The State Bar had no problem updating the site with their updated address information when the moved in the last month. That happened right away.

Dear Veterans In Politics and its members: You have your own website. You have a facebook page. Can you please stop flooding this blog with your rants. We get it: You don't like Judge Khamsi. You don't like Judge Ochoa. You don't like anonymous postings on a blog that always has anonymous post. We heard you. Will you please either go away or exercise some restraint by only posting once or twice a day on this blog. Cut and paste, repetition, and endless posts are not winning any converts to your cause.

Steve Sanson claims to call those out when needed but when Boulder City attorney Dave Olsen was found guilty on 5 willful violations by the ethics commission and a bar reprimand he never asked any of the council members or Mayor Woodbury a thing about it when they appeared on his radio show. Sanson chooses who he attacks and protects and promotes those that support him. What happened to his love fest with Stephen Stubbs? I remember them working together to go after Linda Strickland. Stubbs has slammed Sanson and Sanson came right back at him. I guarantee you that he does not speak for a majority of the veterans in Las Vegas. He has a gimmick and it has worked for him.

Sanson is a joke. Just a classic example of an internet blogger who seized political power. Any candidate who is endorsed by this douche should immediately lose all credibility.

Vincent OCHOA Clark County Family Court Judge is under investigation by the Nevada Judicial Discipline Commission for engaging with litigants that came before him on social media and never revealed his actions in open court instead he changed custody to the litigant he was “Liking” on Facebook including her minor child. Ochoa has openly acknowledge that he violated Nevada Custody Law and discriminate the male gender when it comes to the custody of children. During Ochoa’s last election the Police Officer Association of Clark County School District rescinded their endorsement of his candidacy. Ochoa covered up an arrest of his son’s heron use and now the same son is arrested again for robbing a clerk at knife point at a Party City Supply Store.

Question 1:

Does Children Learn what they Live?

Question 2:

Does this Judge deserve to Judge you and interfere in your personal custody of your children?

Question 3:

Should this Judge remain on the Family Court Bench?

'Thug' covers it well. I doubt this one could fight his way out of a paper bag. Perhaps one of us should send authorities to his residence to determine if he is a threat to himself or others. Or just to hand him some sleeping pills.

Stevie cannot let go of his hatred and jealousy of this fine judge. Then badmouthing this blog on his Facebook page and posting more vitriol directed toward Ochoa every hours on his Facebook page. Worse, he then returns here and threatens people by telling them he is going to find their IP address. Anytime, Stevie. I will drop you where you stand. Repeatedly. BOY.

Please do not feed the troll!

Trolls try to disrupt, destroy or change discussion groups to fit their own agendas.

Trolls are pin heads.

Trolls like to visit and try to disrupt internet forums.

Their lowly reason for existence is to post provocative, hostile or annoying messages. They claim to want to discuss issues, but in fact their purpose is to cause trouble. Trolls have an exaggerated sense of their own importance.

Trolls will frequently use a persecution defense when they are asked to cease their antisocial behavior. When someone asks them nicely to stop posting negative comments, they’ll claim innocent intent and will scream censorship. They will claim that they are being singled out because of their unpopular viewpoints.

Trolls will only stay when they are fed or given attention. So please do not pet, respond to, or feed trolls. Doing so only results in their prolonged stay.

I guess you could say that Troy Fox is like Steve Gibson in that meme-like references to him were frequently made at a predecessor blog. I invoked his name here only as a callback for those who remember; but I grew tired of the "slam book for lawyers" the other blog had become and hope the same doesn't happen on this blog.

I hope the criminal justice system works regardless of whether the accused is the son of a District Court judge or has an enemy in the Veterans in Politics organization. Innocent until PROVEN guilty. But why would someone rob a party store. What for…to get Balloon or circus supply money? My sources say the Las Vegas Review Journal have picked up this story. If you don't want to believe that Steve Sanson guy, then maybe the RJ can report the story, and they will. Thank you…and thank you for a troll free environment away from the "blog is dead" guy.
