A man who allegedly left a voice-mail message threatening Boulder City Manager Vicki Mayes has been arrested and jailed, according to the Boulder City Police Department.
Mayes discovered the message left at 7:14 p.m. Nov. 7 by a man who identified himself as Gregory Eugene Thomas.
The caller said he was going to rape and murder the manager and then kill her husband, police said. He also said that he was going to come to the City Council meeting on Nov. 10 and if anyone tried to stop him, he would kill them, too, police said.
He was arrested the day before the meeting, on Nov. 9.
Police said that Thomas, 46, told them that he threatened the city manager after becoming frustrated because he could not find an affordable place to live in Boulder City.
Police allege he made statements saying he felt that city government should provide assistance to those who want to live in Boulder City. Before his arrest in Boulder City, he lived in an apartment in Las Vegas, police said.
Police arrested Thomas as he was walking along Nevada Highway, near a coffee shop, police said. Police said he was identified from a picture obtained from his Web site.
He was charged with making threats and harassment as well as two counts of possessing drug paraphernalia, police said. He was booked into the Henderson City Jail on $25,000 cash bail or $250,000 bond, police said.
Thomas’ laptop computer has been turned over to the Metro Police Cyber Crimes Unit for examination, Boulder City police said.

WTF?
"We hope Boulder City looks into the miscarriages of justice to the homeless."
A homeless man with a laptop computer dwms?
The artice stated that he wanted to move from his apmt. in LV to one in BC.!
He heard Boulder City has rent control.
Meth?
It'd be classic if The Sun came across some dirty info on this sleaze -Vickey of course....
It's a wonder actually, why the homeless aren't already taking over vacant commercial property? Yeah, Thomas represents a <certain> proportion of Boulder City and Boulder City will pay -literally PAY to have this jacko locked up.
Thomas wasn't correct in all his belligerent ramblings however knowing the city will pay and house him free of charge along with three square meals a day means he's successfully found a new home courteously of Vickey. EVERYBODY WINS!!! They (meaning together) probably don't even realize they've accomplished the means to the same end".FREE HOUSING AND FOOD FOR ALL!!!!
lolz....
DO NOT START ANY PSYCH MED PRESCRIPTION WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING AN ATTORNEY about the possbile penalties for murder, assault, rape, molestation, abduction, theft, fraud, DUI, etc. Anti-Depressants and Anti-Psychotics are mind-altering drugs and are more times than not, prescribed for uses they are not approved for by the FDA, and can have serious behavioral side effects. (ie, drugs such as Lexapro which are approved by the FDA for Major Depressive Disorder are routinely prescribed for mild to moderate depression.) In most circumstances, you will be held fully accountable for any criminal acts you commit while taking these drugs . Millions of people are currently incarcerated or deceased due to incidents while taking or withdrawing from these drugs. Some are children tried as adults sentenced to life. Your doctor, the FDA, and the makers of these drugs are not held accountable to patients, only to government agencies whom can fine them, no matter how gross their mis-conduct is. You should consult with an attorney after reading the possible side effects BEFORE starting any new prescriptions because these drugs are also highly addictive and once taken, cannot be discontinued in any time short of months.
