The harrowing video of the teen motorist striking retired police chief Andreas Probst with his vehicle leading to Probst's untimely death has sparked more than outrage. The callous nature of the act is now leading the prosecution to seek trying the teen as an adult.
The Clark County District Attorney's Office released a statement on Monday which read:
The Clark County District Attorney’s Office, both its Juvenile and Adult Divisions, are taking this matter very seriously. One of the perpetrators, a juvenile, is currently in custody and being held pursuant to charges that have been filed in the juvenile system. Additional charges may be forthcoming. The District Attorney’s Office is seeking certification to adult status of the juvenile perpetrator. An investigation involving the second perpetrator is ongoing. “I am confident that justice will be served in this matter once the investigation is complete and the appropriate charges have been filed.” said Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson.
