LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A Las Vegas man attempted to flee prosecution after being convicted on several charges related to a fatal hit-and-run crash on July 25, 2019.
Max Mones was found guilty on two counts, including leaving the scene of a crash involving death and substantial bodily harm. He was convicted on Oct. 11, 2024 and was allowed to remain out of custody pending his sentencing on Jan. 7, 2025.
Shortly after his conviction, he attempted to flee Dubai with a layover in Canada. Mones arrived in Dubai and quickly returned to the U.S., where the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, along with the San Francisco Police Department, detained and arrested him.
Mones was booked at the San Mateo County Detention Center and was extradited back to Las Vegas to face those charges.
Court records show that during a deposition on Dec. 9, Mones agreed to plead guilty to charges related to the crash. He was sentenced to spend between two and half to just over six yeras in jail.
