LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — On Dec. 4, deputies from the Nye County Sheriff's Office responded to the Pahrump Nugget for a report of a male suspect with a rifle.

During the investigation, it was determined that there had been a brawl at the bar and that Anthony Bell, 26, of Pahrump, had left and gone to his car.

Surveillance footage shows Bell returning to his truck, pulling out his gun, and charging the security man along with another male before fleeing the scene.

Deputies from the NCSO responded to Bell's last known residence on Dec. 12 and came into contact with another resident Kathleen Juliano, 25, of Pahrump. Initially, she refused to leave the house, but police were able to convince her to come out while they conducted a search.

Bell was not found in the home during the search, but a short-barreled rifle, thought to be the gun used in the crime, was located and confiscated.

NCSO Deputies also discovered a hypodermic device filled with drugs and living circumstances unsuitable for children when investigating the house.

According to a release, Juliano was arrested for:

  • Possession of a controlled substance
  • Child Neglect

Additionally, an arrest warrant has been issued for Anthony Bell for the charges of Assault with a deadly weapon, aiming a gun at a person, drawing a deadly weapon in a threatening manner, and possession of a short-barrelled rifle, detectives say.

Police describe Bell as a 26-year-old White man, 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 137 lbs, with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was last seen driving a white Nissan Frontier.

Police say Bell should be considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information as to his whereabouts is asked to contact 775-751-7000 or send an email to sheriff@co.nye.nv.us.
