Sheriff's Office issues written reprimand after detective's gun stolen

A Clark County Sheriff's Office detective received a written reprimand after his duty firearm was stolen from a county car Monday.

According to a previous report from News Center 7, two guns were stolen after a series of car break-ins in the Northridge area.

News Center 7 obtained the written reprimand which identifies the deputy involved as Detective Scott Cultice, who is with the Sheriff's Office's Criminal Investigation Division.

The reason for the reprimand is negligence and the fact that the gun was loaded and unsecured.

It's unclear if the car was unlocked at the time of the incident, as the document states it was “unlawfully entered.”

The second firearm was recovered during an arrest in Montgomery County on Tuesday.

Greene County Sheriff's Office deputies also arrested a possible juvenile suspect Tuesday, News Center 7 previously reported.

“The Sheriff’s Office will continue to follow up on any leads that may be discovered regarding the theft and possible whereabouts of the firearm. The recovery of stolen firearms is a major concern for investigators due to the dangers that can be associated with the illegal use of a firearm,” a Sheriff's Office spokesperson told News Center 7.
