Former GOP Candidate Surrenders To Authorities Over Las Vegas Murder Charge
HuffPost
Police issued a warrant for the arrest of Daniel Rodimer after a man was injured at a casino on the Las Vegas strip last year.
A former GOP congressional candidate surrendered to authorities on Wednesday after officials issued an arrest warrant over the death of a man in Las Vegas late last year.
Daniel Rodimer, 45, turned himself in to officials on Wednesday after police issued the warrant over the death of 47-year-old Christopher Tapp at a Las Vegas casino last October.
Rodimer’s attorneys said he would vehemently fight the allegations.
“Mr. Rodimer is voluntarily surrendering to authorities and will post a court ordered bail,” attorney David Chesnoff said in a statement to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “He intends on vigorously contesting the allegations and asks that the presumption of innocence guaranteed all Americans be respected.”
Officials first said Tapp was injured in a “purported accident” at the Hilton Resorts World on the Las Vegas strip before he died at an area hospital. But detectives later classified the death as suspicious after learning there was an altercation inside a hotel room prior to Tapp’s death.
