LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas police say they have arrested a New Mexico man and impounded more than $400,000 worth of jewelry designed by former U.S. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell of Colorado.
Police Sgt. Mike Bechler said Brett Clinton Combs, 28, was taken into custody Jan. 8 in southeast Las Vegas after investigators got a tip that he planned an armored-car robbery.
Combs remained in custody Thursday at the Clark County jail.
Bechler said police found American Indian-style jewelry designed by Campbell, about $25,000 worth of smoke-shop merchandise, several firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition.
Investigators think the Campbell jewelry was stolen in a Nov. 17 armed robbery at a gallery in Durango.
