According to KTNV , a Las Vegas police detective has been charged with a pair of felonies, including one count of selling, transporting, or giving away a controlled substance. The detective moonlighted for the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).

Detective Lawrence Rinetti, 46, was arrested last week and booked into the Clark County Detention Center. In addition to the charge stated above, Rinetti was also booked on charges of felony misconduct of a police officer and a misdemeanor count of destroying/selling evidence.

Rinetti, who joined the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) in 2006, had been assigned to the Major Violator/Narcotics Crime Bureau. He had been under investigation since June. He has been relieved of duty with pay.

According to the Baltimore Post Examiner, Rinetti was a U.S Marine for 13 years and was also a Tack Force Officer with the United States Marshals Service. That outlet also reported that Rinetti is on the Board of Directors for the Las Vegas Police Protective Association, a union that represents members of the LVMPD.

KNTV reported that Rinetti’s role with NSAC included, “inspections at unarmed combat events.” NSAC’s official website currently lists Rinetti as an ‘Inspector.’

According to Nevada’s state regulations on combat sports an inspector’s responsibilities may include the following duties:

Enter the ring or cage between periods of combat.

Review any drinks a fighter brings to or consumes at the site of a contest or exhibition.

Check that participants’ gloves are up to code.

Ensure participants have received written contracts from the promoter.

Ensure that rules at weigh-ins are “strictly enforced.”

NSAC Director Bob Bennett told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that Rinetti will not receive any assignments from them at this time. Bennett added that Rinetti, “did a good job looking out for the health and safety of the fighters.”
