Telles allegedly grabbed her by the neck and struck her arm and also tried to break things in the car as they drove home. Once they arrived, she claimed Telles screamed, “Kill me!”

During his encounter with police, Telles claimed his civil rights were being violated.

“I am so not like somebody who is embarrassed. I am a public official. I am not trying to be like an asshole or a jerk,” he said. “I would like to be reelected.”

The Clark County Democrat was arrested last week on suspicion of murdering Las Vegas Review-Journal  investigative reporter Jeff German following reports he wrote exposing corruption, Breitbart News reported September 8.

Telles was booked into the county detention center after German was found dead outside his home with multiple stab wounds.

In addition, Telles reportedly had self-inflicted stab wounds when officials took him into custody.

Telles was seen smiling during an appearance in court on Tuesday while wearing bandages on his arms, according to Breitbart News.

The bandages were reportedly for wounds from a suicide attempt where he slashed his wrists.

“Telles recently lost his reelection following German’s investigations. The journalist was planning a follow-up piece on the 45-year-old and other Clark County officials,” Breitbart News reported.
