The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) on Wednesday announced the arrest of Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles in connection with the Aug. 3 stabbing death of investigative journalist Jeff German, according to authorities and local reports.

Police arrested Telles, 45, a day after releasing photos of the suspect and the suspect's vehicle, as the Las Vegas Review-Journal, where German worked since 2010, first reported.

On Tuesday evening, the Las Vegas Review-Journal — where German had worked as a reporter since 2010 — observed Telles, a Democrat, standing next to a vehicle that matched the suspect vehicle's description.

German had recently written about allegations of a hostile work environment in Telles' office. The public administrator had lost his bid for reelection in June after German published his findings, the outlet reported.
