Good afternoon, this is your Henderson and Nevada law enforcement digest for the week ending December 1st, 2025.
On Monday, November 25th through early Sunday morning, November 30th, Nevada law enforcement agencies conducted the second annual Sergeant Abbate and Trooper Felix DUI Blitz, a coordinated statewide enforcement operation. The campaign honored Nevada Highway Patrol Sergeant Michael Abbate and Trooper Alberto Felix, who were killed in the line of duty by an impaired driver on November 30th, 2023. During this two-day operation, participating agencies including Nevada Highway Patrol, Henderson Police, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, North Las Vegas Police, Boulder City Police, and multiple county sheriff's offices, along with California Highway Patrol, conducted 818 traffic stops resulting in 414 citations and 49 total arrests. Of those arrests, 38 were specifically for driving under the influence. The coordinated effort aimed to remove impaired drivers from Nevada roadways and prevent fatalities.
On Wednesday, November 26th, the Henderson Police Department arrested Anthony Coffield, a 35-year-old performing arts and theatre teacher with the Clark County School District, following a month-long investigation coordinated with the Clark County District Attorney's Office. Coffield faces two counts of sexual assault and one count of a school employee engaging in a sexual act with a pupil 16 or older. The allegations involve an inappropriate relationship with a student. Investigators indicated they do not believe there are additional victims at this time. Coffield was booked into the Henderson Detention Center and held on ten thousand dollars bail. An arraignment hearing was scheduled for Tuesday, December 2nd before Henderson Justice of the Peace Sandra Allred DiGiacomo. Green Valley High School notified families that the employee would not be allowed on campus and that the school is cooperating fully with law enforcement.
On Monday, December 1st, just before noon near the 5400 block of West Charleston Boulevard, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department responded to a carjacking incident. A male suspect forcibly took a vehicle from a victim, causing injuries as he attempted to flee. The suspect crashed the stolen vehicle a short distance away and was apprehended by responding officers. Both the victim and the suspect were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. One arrest was made and the investigation remains ongoing.
While specific crime trend data for Henderson alone was not available for this reporting period, the statewide DUI blitz demonstrated law enforcement's continued commitment to reducing impaired driving incidents across Nevada.
