District Court Judge Stefany Miley presides over a sentencing in August at the Regional Justice Center.

Edward Miley
The husband of District Judge Stefany Miley was arrested late Thursday on a domestic battery charge following a disturbance at the couple's home.
Edward R. Miley, a lawyer who represented one of the defendants in the O.J. Simpson robbery case, was taken into custody sometime after Metro Police arrived at the scene about 9 p.m., according to a police report obtained by the Sun. He was then taken to the Clark County Detention Center to be booked into the jail.
Judge Miley — a former Family Court judge who was elected last year to the District Court seat vacated by Elizabeth Halverson — called police from a neighbor’s house about 8:30 p.m. to report a domestic violence incident involving her husband, the report said. Miley told police at the neighbor’s house that her husband was “drinking heavily” and choking their dog, which had bitten him.
Miley said that when she tried to stop her husband from choking the dog, he pushed her to the floor in front of their children. Then she and her children fled to the neighbor’s house in fear, the report said.
Earlier in the evening, Miley said her husband had pushed her and struck her in the chest with the back of his hand.
A few weeks earlier, her husband had been drinking and became violent, firing off “several rounds” from a firearm in the backyard of their house, the judge told police.
Officers said there were no visible injuries to the judge when they interviewed her. But when they went to the Miley home to arrest her husband, they found him with blood on his hands and shirt. The report did not mention the condition of the dog, but said a veterinarian service had been called to the scene.
Edward Miley smelled of alcohol and was “somewhat uncooperative with police” the report said. He refused to leave his home without his cell phone, the report added.
Police said he told a lieutenant he “would like you to arrest better looking hookers because I am tired of defending ugly ones."
Miley is best known for representing Charles Cashmore, who pleaded guilty in the Simpson memorabilia case and testified for the prosecution.
District Attorney David Roger, who obtained a conviction against Simpson, said police have yet to submit a criminal case against Miley.
“We’re gathering all the information to determine which charges are appropriate,” he said. “We’re also considering filing animal cruelty charges.”
Neither of the Mileys returned phone calls.
OOOOOHHHH, poor little rich people. Not the wealthy, they are ssssssooooooo proper. Everybody has something.

You wrote an entire article without mentioning Brox. I am amazed.
I hope his dog bites him again. And again. Dogs are very intelligent creatures.
mandingo: seeking reparations for slavery would be a better waste of you talents.
Domestic battery for choking a dog, ROFL!
ROFL, Pun Intended!
It could be considered a joke if it were under any other circumstances but you have to consider that this charge with someone who has to work a security job could no longer do so. So is he gonna lose his right to be a lawyer or is this just something that affects the common man with no connections?
This scum needs to be locked away In a cage.
I hope they let him be OJ's cell mate, they will have a lot to talk about.
I would advise Stefany Miley to divorce this guy & don't ever look back.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
Judge Miley, as an educated woman, is not alone in suffering domestic violence.
Women elected officials commonly hide the problem for fear that voters will think badly of them, rather than the abusive husband.
I feel so very sorry for her. It's tough to be in love with someone who beats the crap out of you.
Run, Stefany, Run!
" Police said he told a lieutenant he 'would like you to arrest better looking hookers because I am tired of defending ugly ones.' "
It is good to see that Mary Manning isn't the only one over there with an eye for great quotes.
Keep up the great work.
Another example of a good looking, smart woman hooked up with a dumb beast of a guy who doesn't have the common sense God gave a flea. Hope she's on the market soon.
Where is the guy who likes to portray stuff like this as only happening in North Las Vegas? Well of course he is very narrow-minded. The fact of the matter is this stuff happens in every part of town, by people of all races.
Not only is the husband an idiot for striking his wife, he also choked the family dog? What a piece of work.
She is a Family Court Judge. How can this person make decisions about how other people handle their family affairs, when she cant make proper decision about her own family. He of course is loser.
Uhh, Lane, why don't you learn to read, or is your bitterness and mysoginy blinding you? Judge Miley is a DISTRICT COURT JUDGE.
Moreover, who are you to assert that someone is incapable of properly ruling from the bench in Family Court if they have problems of their own at home? Really, Lane? Really? That has got to be one of the most illogical statements I have ever heard. If anything, I would think it would hive a judge perspective.
Judge Miley is a lovely woman and an excellent judge and it is a-holes like you that make people afraid to come forward to report domestic violence. Who needs the added stress? Better she should suffer in silence, right, Lane?
YOU LOOK RIDICULOUS.
cynicalobserver. Do people like you ever get tired of these ridiculous excuses you make. It is not hard. File a restraing order,file for divorce and move on.This is not a third world country as a matter of fact women have most of the rights in divorce cases.These things would be easy for a sitting JUDGE to obtain. Get real. According to the story this is not the first time this has happened and in reality no one knows what the good judges conduct is like when not on the bench.
Since Anonesq. wants Brox mentioned, here goes my opinion: Chief Deputy District Attorney Craig Hendricks is one of the laziest and most soft on crime prosecutors. He, like Draskovich and Judge Smith, and maybe even Brox, are all attendees of the same latter day temple. So, Craig Hendricks will be waiting for this case to fly under the radar, claim there are witness problems, i.e. someone just might get this 15 year old relative of Steven Brox to "recant" her claim that Brox sexually assaulted her, or suggest that she not be available when the State tries to subpoena her, or suggest that she go on a vacation at or near the preliminary hearing date so she is unavailable to be served with a subpoena. Just my opinion.
If Mary Kay Holthus gets the case from Craig Hendricks, the case goes forward. She will not give a crap about who Brox, or Draskovich is, or whether they go to temple with Smith. If Liza Luzaich gets it, it is 50-50 whether she is fired up or indifferent. If she has a vacation coming up, or looks a little overworked, she will be playing Monty Hall at the prelim, or calendar call. Now, if she is incensed at the deal makings that will definitely be going on, and takes umbrage at the poor treatment of this young girl, she will go all out to convict Brox.
By the bye, Judge Miley was the subject of a police response to a disturbance at a soccer game, I believe. I suspect it involved her unruly, unmannered kids. Someone likely told her to control them, and she came unglued at the suggestion that she spend part of her time being a mother.
Just looking at Ed Miley tells you he has that Ted Kennedy drinking look. Ed Miley's idiotic comments made about his client Cashmore at the time of the O.J. trial makes me wonder why he practices criminal law, though he probably could handle traffic tickets. He was a camera whore, talking officiously, and all Ed Murrow-like, but looking for all the world like a boozer. That fly that was constantly hovering around Miley during his umpteenth appearance on CourtTV probably caught a buzz just biting him.
Back to Brox. Watch for the backroom deals. Watch Craig Hendricks with a fine tooth comb or he will give out misdemeanors like lap dances at Cheetah's.
JohnDeaux:
Gee,..You blog just like your in as much need of a vacation as Stephanie and Ed Miley...
Metro gives the poor white trash a bullet in the head, but they brown nose the rich and privileged with kid glove treatment. e.g. Gans, Binion, the Righteous bro Hatfield, etc.
One kind of justice for the poor and working class and another for the connected, it's time the FBI comes in and investigates the corruption, the free meals, the kick backs, bribes, and skulduggery. I wonder what Casino will hire Gilesspee.
john deaux sounds like one of the many bitter prosecutors that are going no where fast. Hendricks is one the finest people in that office. Some reason deaux has an axe to grind, but is not man enough to use his real name.
Randy is a good guy, everyone gets stressed out and blows a fuse.. give him a break.

mred...Are you related to the Obamas' or Kennedys?...
Gee, I'm sure if we wanted to extend this conversation,you could probably make me believe "Humpty Dumpty"actually existed...
Randy Miley IS NOT a nice guy. He is a drunk and a JERK! This is not the first time he has "fought" with his wife. This has been going on for a long time. Their poor kids are the ones to suffer. They have his temper. To hurt your dog and your wife in front of your children? Figsybigsy - your crazy. Stop making excuses for BAD behavior. Don't excuse this as he was stressed out so what? Really, do you stress out and blow a fuse and HIT your wife in front of your kids and scare the daylights out of her so she, a Dist. Court Judge has to run to the neighbors and call the police? Do you have any idea of how scared she was to do this? And make a report? The man was choking a DOG! CHOKING A DOG! He should be put away.... let's see if the LVMD and the Judge's do their job this time. Wasn't his wife involved in a fight with a mom on a soccer field about a month ago? The whole family needs intensive counseling.
It is interesting that you report on the fact that Edward Miley was arrested for assaulting his dog yet you did not report on the coverup of the assault charges filed against Stefany Miley. In August of this year, Stefany assaulted a soccer mom. Despite the soccer mom filing charges and naming Stefany as the person who assaulted her, the entire incident was covered up. In fact, all that was known about the incident was when a police man twittered his superior to find out what to do cause the named assailant was Stefany Miley. KLAS is the only media outlet who had a very short story about the incident. No one has sought to bring this coverup to light. Attached are two different blog stories on the matter and the KLAS story. I guess its just more of the poor get jailed and the rich get bailed right out of trouble.

what a piece of dog s*** choke a dog hit his wife what a worthless person. i hope he find some1 in jail he represent they kick his arse
Hey JohnDeaux: I was taking a shot at German, not offering you a platform to vomit your totally unrelated bitter complaints and nonsense about the sexual assault team.
David 1961--I was not aware that Kennedy and President Obama were involved in this incident. This is a serious incident to all parties involved, including the children, and should not be politicized. Politicizing this event, IMO, signals that, to some, the situation is not as serious as it is. Domestic abuse not only hurts the parents, but can also have a long-lasting effect on the children. I'll bet this is a serious matter to the Miley children, and that the only thing they want is a safe, secure, and peaceful home in which to grow up.
Stef - kick that bum to the curb. You, your kids, and your dog deserve better.
jajma: yea ,and not to sail this article 300 miles in a different direction, 4th grade blogging that has very little to do with the article at hand gets on my nerves too,...
make sure and take into account the original comment that started my rant...or maybe thats beside the point....
I really want to see where this goes. It will just prove if this town is on the take.
Another crime by the "haves"that will go under the rug,while the"have nots"will continue to take it up the tail pipe in this town!Just go s to show you how deep the corrution really is here!What a nice place to raise a family.School system sucks!Health services are non exsitance(unless your an illegal)!Metro acts if they own this town!Courts that are in the lawyers pockets!And judges that get away with worse crimes than the crooks they convict!Ya im dropping everything,and moveing to vegas?
He killed the dog. What a piece of "dog doody".
He should rot in jail. She should get the hell off the bench. Didn't SHE ASSAULT someone just last month? What happened to that?
Ed beats Stefany, Stefany beats other parents, and a round and a round we go. Ed is an idiot and Stefany is an idiot. The only reason Stefany is a judge is men are too stupid to vote for the right candidate, just the better looking one. Stefany should not be allowed to judge a beauty contest, let alone judge other people's lives. She needs to go the same way as Halverson!!!!
More power to the Judge as a woman a mother and a wife who has said no to an abusive person who cannot control his drinking.
He seems really upset that he is a lawyer who defends the snatches who use their client's money. However these persons are no more guilty of "robbing a customer" than are politicans who have worked to obtain the use of the monies in an office where perks consist of use of government cars, government credit cards, party money, and other perks. The lawyer could be outraged that he is not on the inside track of more of the use of his privileged status as a lawyer regardless of his drinking habits.
Judge did the appropriate moves to leave the house and remove the children and dog from his presence until he can control his drinking and rage to physically contact wife and dog in an abusive action.
More power to the Judge for her decisions.
