In Las Vegas, Stanley and Colleen Rimer were convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of their 4-year-old son, Jason. While both of the married couple were out on bail, Stanley Rimer decided to bring a briefcase full of jewels into court.
District Judge Douglas Herndon was suspicious that anyone on bail would walk around with valuable jewels in a briefcase. Fearing Mr. Rimer was a flight risk, he revoked his $500,000 bail and had him taken into custody at the Clark County Detention Center. His wife, Colleen, did not have her bail revoked.
Rimer told the judge that he brought the jewelry with him in case he was arrested so that it could be used to pay a local Las Vegas bail bondsman. The judge didn't buy that story.
At a follow up hearing, Deputy D.A. David Stanton supplied the court with pictures of the briefcase and asked the judge to revoke the bail of both of the Rimers.
