Tech billionaire and advocate of crime victims Henry T. Nicholas III is facing drug counts after being arrested along with a woman Tuesday at a Las Vegas Strip casino-resort.

Nicholas was arrested on suspicion of trafficking heroin, cocaine, meth and ecstasy, Las Vegas police officer Larry Hadfield said Thursday. He added police responded to the casino-resort following a report from security, which had found contraband in a room.

Nicholas co-founded high-tech chipmaker Broadcom Corp. in 1991 and resigned as president and CEO in 2003. In 2008, he was indicted on narcotics and securities fraud charges. The charges in the securities case were dismissed in 2009 and the narcotics case in 2010.

The billionaire is an advocate for crime victims and has bankrolled ballot measures in the U.S. to guarantee them and their family members some rights. The so-called "Marsy's Law" victims' bill of rights is named after Nicholas' sister, Marsalee "Marsy" Nicholas, a California college student who was stalked and killed in 1983 by an ex-boyfriend.

Five states — California, Ohio, Illinois, North Dakota and South Dakota — have a Marsy's Law on their books. South Dakota altered its law earlier this year to help police and prosecutors cut down on unforeseen bureaucratic problems it created. Montana voters passed a Marsy's Law in 2016 that the state Supreme Court later overturned, citing flaws in how it was written.

The Marsy's Law national organization in a statement released Thursday said its cause is "far greater than any one person.

"The allegations in the media should not interfere with Marsy's Law, the victims' rights movement started by Dr. Nicholas, that so many victims, advocates, law enforcement leaders, staff and volunteers are working to advance across the country," the organization said.

In Nevada, Marsy's Law will appear on the ballot in November as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment, after the measure was approved during the 2015 and 2017 legislative sessions, as required by law. Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo and Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson have previously endorsed the measure.

Henry Nicholas was arrested along with Ashley Fargo on Tuesday. Hadfield said she faces the same counts as Nicholas. Court records show she has also been released on her own recognizance.

So I remember reading about this guy back in the day. Really rich and really into drugs. He's had numerous private pilots resign because of how much weed he was smoking on his private jets. He ran afoul of the city he was living in when they found he was making a private tunnel to what was supposed to be a private drug den, this was his response to deal with numerous neighbors calling the cops on his crazy parties. Definitely not a "death peddler", I guarantee that was his personal stash!
 
Meh, who gives a shit. Drugs are only dangerous if some commoner street level lowlife is involved in em. A billionaire isnt going to rob and murder anyone to score a hit, and as long as this dude isnt raising a child, i sincerely dont see any risks or problems with him indulging.

What acouple of disgusting creeps though. Good lord, what the fuck is wrong with this guy? If i have that much money, i am finding a FAR nicer piece of ass then that bizarro fuckface. Barf.
 
Billionaire Henry T. Nicholas III was charged Wednesday in Las Vegas with multiple charges of narcotics trafficking six months after police discovered heroin and meth in the Broadcom co-founder’s massive suite at the Encore hotel.

Based on the quantities of the narcotics found inside the suite in August, the Clark County district attorney charged Nicholas, 59, and Ashley Fargo, a woman present in the suite with the billionaire, each with five felony counts of trafficking and two of possession.

Court documents said investigators recovered 82.5 grams of meth and 4.24 grams of heroin.

Nicholas and Fargo were arrested and booked on suspicion of trafficking heroin, cocaine, psilocin and methamphetamine, Hadfield said.

David Chesnoff, Nicholas’ attorney, said Wednesday “the charges are only allegations and not facts.”

“The actual facts,” he said, “are that Dr. Nicholas is a philanthropist, an advocate for victims’ rights, a scientist and co-founder of a global company. He is not a drug trafficker. Dr. Nicholas and Ms. Fargo deny the charges. We plan to file a motion to dismiss the entire matter on a number of grounds, including lack of evidence.”

The suite where Nicholas was detained by Las Vegas police is among the largest on the Strip; proving possession of the narcotics won’t be as easy as when drugs are found in a car alongside a driver. The charges Nicholas faces are typically used to target drug dealers and are based on quantity of drugs rather than activity.

According to the charges, detectives found meth, cocaine, heroin and psilocin in the suite. A police report says hotel security entered the room after Nicholas was locked out. Inside they found Fargo lying on the bed unresponsive, with a semi-inflated balloon lodged in her mouth, police said, adding that Nicholas told staff it contained nitrous oxide.

The police report says hotel staff then noticed a black Pelican briefcase, and out of concern that it could contain a weapon, opened it and saw what they believed to be marijuana. They then opened a second similar case and found bags of powder and other substances, according to the police report. Neither Nicholas nor Fargo said the cases were their property.

When detectives arrived, police said Nicholas told them the couple had been partying at the Spearmint Rhino strip club beforehand and admitted to bringing the nitrous oxide on his private plane to Las Vegas. According to the police report, video showed Nicholas and Fargo each carrying black Pelican cases like the ones recovered inside the hotel suite.

I wonder if he got his coke from the JP Morgan cargo barge loaded with 20 tons of coco in July. Luckily for that country club, everyone must tithe to like gods, we don’t prosecute our friends the malfeasant bankers.
