Bank executive arrested, accused of lewdness

David Jay Hiner
A Nevada State Bank executive was arrested Thursday by Metro Police on a charge of open and gross lewdness.
Police arrested David Jay Hiner, 65, a vice president and community development officer with the bank. Hiner has been with the bank for 14 years and worked on community projects.
The man who accused Hiner contacted police on July 29, an arrest report said. He told police he met Hiner for a business meeting at a Nevada State Bank branch on June 22. After that meeting, with others present, the man said Hiner put his right hand on the man's back, then down inside the back of his pants.
The man told police he said, "No. Jay no." Hiner responded, "Oh, come on," according to the arrest report.
The man told police he was embarrassed to report the incident, and that Hiner had continued to flirt with him and use suggestive language.
Police also learned that the bank had conducted an internal investigation and Hiner was cleared of any wrongdoing after a week's paid suspension, the police report said.
Hiner suggested to police that the man filed the complaint out of revenge because Hiner had not sent him any business and he needed money.
A witness told police that Hiner ran his finger down the man's back and placed one finger inside the man's pants. The man then jerked forward and pulled away from Hiner.
Metro Police sexual assault detectives arrested Hiner because he allegedly touched the man's buttocks and the incident occurred in a public place. The charge is a gross misdemeanor under state law.
Hiner had worked in the Las Vegas community to develop affordable housing and served on the Downtown Community Development Committee, according to information on the bank's Web site.

What is he accused of doing?
Gross lewdness, Lenny.
Someone will have to ask...Are we sure this didn't happen at the Prive at Planet Hollywood or Rehab at Hard Rock???
Corus bank bites the dust today as the 90th this year, luv those banks.
Corus Bank, National Association, Chicago, Illinois, was closed today by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver. To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with MB Financial Bank, National Association, Chicago, Illinois, to assume all of the deposits of Corus Bank, N.A.
I assume there was more evidence than the word of the accuser and a witness. If you can have your reputation ruined on the basis of something so flimsy, well, that's rather scary. Now this guy has to fork out money for a lawyer, etc. Maybe he's guilty; I don't know. But I sure know that I'm not going to take the word of two Nevada businessmen as solid evidence.
I agree Teaser, but if this happened in the bank. maybe it was caught on camera.
Comment removed by staff.
Oh come on if this really happen he would have just punched the guy in the nose right? I mean some old dude put his hands in my pants Im gonna beat him till his skull is mushy and I think most any man would. Something is wrong with this one. Was the accuser gay? Is the bank guy gay?
A guy stick his hand down your pants and you call the cops?
Gay.
This guy is a tool. It was just a matter of time.
Something is fishy here. Every guy gets hit on by a gay guy now and than. This is the first time in my life that I have ever heard of a guy calling the cops for getting hit on by another guy. The underlying story will come out this weekend.
the bank had conducted an internal investigation and Hiner was cleared of any wrongdoing after a week's paid suspension,
1. If there was no wrongdoing then why? the week suspension.
2. What? is considered wrongdoing, this does'nt say much for the Internal investigator, And was the Investigator even Qualified.
3. Does'nt matter if one or both are gay if you don't want to be touched then you don't want to be touched.
4. A witness told police that Hiner ran his finger down the man's back and placed one finger inside the man's pants. The man then jerked forward and pulled away from Hiner.
The man was a better man than me because the fight would have ended with a trip to the jail!
Pretty lame stuff compared to what goes on every where else but never gets reported.
Some 65 year old guy fingers a 50 year old guy without consent. The 50 year old now has to go through a lifetime of therapy. This is even weird for Vegas.
He's lucky he didn't put his hand down the back of the "Birds" pants. He would have gotten a hand full then. Since we all know what the "Bird" is full of...
sounds like hiner wanted 2 get a littl heiny
Wait a minute....
Can't we just arrest him cause he is a banker?
I thought it was open season on bankers Elmer Fudd style.
Oh wait I just actually read the whole pathetic story...
So he was basically arrested for playing 'grab ass'?
Angry, Excellent comments, except Obama is protecting bankers.
But the comments were very good.
Could we just remember the basic principle of American justice, "innocent until proven guilty"?
Somebody made an accusation. Nothing has been proven. The bank's internal investigation found the allegation groundless. The man who was accused was placed on paid suspension while the investigation took place. The suspension part doesn't sound proper. It should have been a paid leave of absence during that week. The bank mishandled that part.
People make false accusations all the time. Incidents of inappropriate contact happen all the time. People try to extort money from other people with threats of false charges. People in positions of power try to sexually exploit others.
We don't know anything for certain yet. What happened in this case could be any of the above, or none of the above. Let's not slander anyone until we know more.
Good Grief!
Would this be news or arrest-worthy if a man did this to a woman? Tacky, yes. Major incident, hardly!
"The man told police he said, 'No. Jay no.' Hiner responded, 'Oh, come on,'"
And from an earlier story:
"The preliminary investigation didn't reveal any signs of foul play, police said. The woman could have crawled into the trunk, or something else may have happened to her, they said."
I think Mary Manning has a great eye for quotes and possibly an even better sense of humor.
Keep it up.
Is this an April Fool's Day joke? Afterall, what normal guy would ever meet with a dude named Hiner?
Scott, LMAO. Any hetrosexual male would have punched him. Hiner is married. Sits on lots of childrens charity boards. Hope Metro look at his home harddrive. I can't wait to hear who filed these charges. Another freak no less. Hiner would have tasted my Marine fist if he pulled a stunt like that on me.
Disgusting!!! If the Nevada State Bank found no violation, then why was Hiner docked a week's pay??
Gross! His computer is probably filled with illegal porn. Hiner should be sent out the door on his hiney. Shame, shame on Nevada State Bank for allowing this pervert to work at their bank!!
Wonder what else they allow?? I will never deal with Nevada State Bank again. Maybe the feds should investigate Nevada State Bank!!
Maybe this bank executive wanted to check out this guy's total assets.....
Or maybe he wanted to assess the guy's prime interest rate.....
I wonder if Hiner would have charged the guy a substantial penalty for early withdraw ?
Ivandre, he was not docked a week's pay. The story states that he was paid for the week during which the bank was investigating:
"Police also learned that the bank had conducted an internal investigation and Hiner was cleared of any wrongdoing after a week's paid suspension, the police report said."
Sounds like a friendly lapse of judgement. Elsewhere, because the perp is pretty nothing happens, here, the perp is hammered home. What gives? Sexual innuendo is basis for punishment, but not abuse of power and corporate resources for personal aggrandizement? Hiner gives one man the finger and goes to jail, a pretty channel thirteen journalist gives all of us the finger and it's ok? Am I missing context or am I just too judgemental?
Why are so many posters defending this gay rapist?
I would have given Hiner a shiner,
gay rapist?...where did that come from ? See how things get started...
I have a story to tell...I want you to tell the guy next to you and that person next to him. Then I what that person to tell gregoryabutler and see what he has to say in the end...won't be the same story I can assure you.
Hey... Give the guy a break. Maybe he just dropped his pen...
Metro did the right thing arresting the homosexual banker.
Gross Lewdness is very vague. With Minor/Farm Animal/Or local skank???
If the charges are dismissed, or if he's found not guilty, I wonder if it will get the same level of publicity.
I'm not defending the guy, I'm just saying absolutely nothing has been proven yet. The bank investigated for a week and found no basis to believe the charges.
Maybe he did it, but maybe it's a false charge by somebody who tried to extort money from a banker. We don't know, so why pre-judge with no real facts? Don't slander somebody who may be an innocent victim. Wait for the evidence.
Very sad to see that some people have already tried the case and found him guilty.
I hope that those of you that have been so judgemental don't ever get accused of something that you possibly didn't do. It can happen!
Last time I looked you are innocent until proven guilty, not vice versa people!
Lets be nice, this is a man that has done alot for the community. Lets back him for once! Until you find out otherwise!
First of all the Guy is Straight. He does alot in the community. Second, guys on here are ignorant. Why must someone be gay to be a rapist. Your on drugs. have you not seen what is happenning in this country it is not the gay community going to jail for rape. Get Educated. Furthermore, The bank must take the step they need to to conduct an investigation and just like any business it might be policy to give him that time off. As many know the lending market is preety bad and many realtors and others are suffering. I think it is just that. This guy must have come to the bank with hopes of gaining business and ended up upset that Hiner could not help. If you learn the real estate business here and see how desperate these relators get you will understand what is going on. Not to say that the accuser is a realtor. I know this man and he is well round and friendly. He is not what you think he is and further more I can't beleive the Sun did this to him. Is it because the Sun doesn't like the bank or what is the deal. I'm sure the police department gets 500 lewdness reports everyday.
Maybe it was just another slow news day at the Sun.
