Larry Markotay
Crash location
Boulder City’s constable was arrested on drunken driving and other traffic-related charges Monday night after crashing his duty-vehicle into a light pole, then leaving the scene on foot, the Boulder City Police Department said today.
Larry Markotay, 42, the chief constable of Boulder Township, was arrested in connection with an incident that took place late Monday near Utah and Seventh streets.
A citizen called 911 at 10:54 p.m. to report that a car had crashed into a light pole and that the occupants had left the area on foot. When police responded, officers recognized the vehicle -- a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria -- as Markotay’s vehicle.
Officers found Markotay at a nearby home. Police said he was arrested for DUI and leaving the scene of an accident after failing field sobriety tests.
Police said he was booked at the Boulder City police station and taken to the Henderson Detention Center pending an appearance before a magistrate with a bail of $5,583. Jail records indicate Markotay is no longer at the Henderson jail.
Election Department records show the constable position will be on the 2010 ballot.
See ?.. elected politicians are scum...
just drop the whole thing these cops never get any kind of sentence anyway, it is worse than Tamanny Hall.
This clown should be fired. Period!
'Do as I say,not as I do'
He is a elected offical. The voters will have a chance in 2010 to get rid of him. He is not a police officer. He serves papers from the Boulder City court. Nothing else.
What a gutless coward. Leaving the scene of a crime and endangering the lives of the very innocent people he's supposed to serve. Is Boulder City really that big that this guy couldn't get off his fat butt and walk home?
"He is a elected official. The voters will have a chance in 2010 to get rid of him. He is not a police officer. He serves papers from the Boulder City court. Nothing else."
Well,he gets a free car. Nice gig.
hmmm...how are those license plate readers working out for you, boulder city?
pretty funny when one of YOUR people that you try to protect from US people does something moronic.
Very true,now,Cadaver. WTF was he thinking? Oh,yeah,he wasn't.
The Constable position is an elected position and not City of Boulder City employment position. The BCPD has nothing to do with the Boulder Township Constable's Office for law enforcement stuff.
