Charged with Burglary at City of Las Vegas Detention Center?

Freedom First defends Burglary cases (NRS 205.060) booked through City Jail and the Las Vegas Municipal Court. Nevada burglary requires intent to commit a felony or theft at the moment of entry. The State has to prove what was in your head when you crossed the threshold — a high bar that creates defense opportunities.

What Burglary (NRS 205.060) actually means

Under Nevada law, Burglary is classified as a non-violent felony. The State must prove every element beyond a reasonable doubt — and that's where defense work begins.

When the booking happens at City of Las Vegas Detention Center, the case typically routes through Las Vegas Municipal Court or Las Vegas Justice Court. The City Jail handles short-term holds for city ordinance and misdemeanor cases. State felonies are transferred to the Clark County Detention Center for arraignment.

Penalties on the table

Category B felony — 1–10 years prison, $10,000 fine. Higher for residential or armed.

How we defend Burglary cases

  • Lack of intent at time of entry
  • No actual entry (curtilage challenges)
  • Identification issues
  • Negotiate to attempt or trespass

Every case is different — but these are the levers that decide outcomes on NRS 205.060 charges out of City Jail. The more facts we have early, the more leverage we have at the first court appearance.
