Michael Jackson’s Ride Along The Strip Angers Vegas Sheriff

Las Vegas Sheriff Bill Young tells The Las Vegas Sun he was unhappy that Metro Police had to use its resources to ensure the peace during Michael Jackson’s jaunt along the Strip on Thursday. “We had cops having to shadow this parade,” Young said. “I don’t see it as a good use of our resources. We’ve got enough crime to look out for.” Young said he also was bothered by the way people ran into the streets to greet Jackson’s motorcade as it came to a halt at stoplights. “I was very concerned about people running out and getting run over,” he said.
