Suspect sought in California robberies arrested in North Las Vegas

A man wanted for his alleged involvement in a string of check-cashing store robberies in California was arrested in North Las Vegas on Friday, U.S. Marshals Service officials said.

Rashaw Pickett, 34, was wanted by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office on charges of kidnapping in connection to his involvement in seven check-cashing store robberies. A Nevada joint task force learned that Pickett had fled to the Las Vegas Valley, and arrested him near Losee Road and East Azure Avenue, officials said.

Pickett was booked into the Clark County Detention Center and is awaiting extradition to California.
