Officer Arrested for Attempting to Help Inmate Escape
Posted On: October 12, 2009 by Shouse Law Group

Hollis Sallahudin, a corrections officer at North Las Vegas Detention Center, was arrested for allegedly trying to help an inmate escape from the jail. She’s been placed on paid administrative leave and was charged with aiding a prisoner to escape and forgery by tampering with computerized data.

Aiding a prisoner to escape (NRS 212.100) with the use of a deadly weapon is a category B felony in Nevada, carrying one to six years in prison and maybe a $5,000 fine. Where no deadly weapon is used, as seems to be the case in Sallahudin’s case, it’s a gross misdemeanor, carrying up to a year in jail and maybe a $2,000 fine.

North Las Vegas Detention Center is a large jail with nearly 1,000 beds. In addition to holding inmates arrested for misdemeanors in North Las Vegas, the North Las Vegas Detention Center also houses inmates from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, United States Marshal Service, and overflow from the Clark County Detention Center.
