A powerful Nye County sheriff’s captain, whose questionable conduct was exposed in a Las Vegas Review-Journal investigation last year, was arrested Friday and later pleaded not guilty to federal charges of wire fraud, perjury and civil rights violations.

Capt. David Boruchowitz, 42, stands accused of using his position to falsely arrest the former CEO of Valley Electric Association, Angela Evans.

He also is accused of committing wire fraud by issuing press releases falsely stating that Evans’ arrest was the result of a court-authorized process, when she was actually arrested “under false and fraudulent pretenses and without probable cause,” according to a statement from the U.S. attorney’s office.

“The indictment further alleges that the false arrest was part of a larger scheme to defraud the former CEO of her job by falsely alleging in various court documents that the CEO embezzled services from the VEA,” the U.S. attorney’s office said.

I frequently deliver to the Pahrump WalMart and I've heard stories about how corrupt the NCSO was under the old
Sheriff, Sharon Wherly and this David Boruchowitz.

If this is true, I hope they nail his hide to the wall.

1. A criminal with a badge? Lock him up, throw away the key.

I can’t imagine how horrible it must be, to be preyed upon by a local sheriff. This sort of betrayal and exploitation is worse than the crime, imho. As far as I’m concerned, a person guilty of crimes like this forfeits their freedom and privileges. May he get everything he deserves and a very long sentence.

3. TV?

Nye Cointy Sheriff is on LivePD or OnPatrol or one of those shows. I remember seeing a Captain in a few episodes. I wonder if it was him.

4. Quite possibly,

I can't imagine a small department like that having more than 2 or 3 captains and he was a Pahrump based captain, so it probably was him.
