LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — U.S. Marshalls in Las Vegas arrested Britt Lairson on May 20 on a warrant dated from 2018.

Lairson was arrested on charges of kidnapping, sexual assault and attempted murder with a deadly weapon, according to the arrest report.

The charges stem from an incident taking place in April 2018 where he was involved in a domestic disturbance.

The victim stated he charged at her with a knife and said he was going to kill her.

A warrant for his arrest was issued in 2018 however he wasn't tracked down until Monday.

Lairson is currently being held at Clark County Detention Center with a preliminary hearing set for June 24.
