Las Vegas man accused of shooting at officers after police find stolen vehicle
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A Las Vegas man faces multiple charges, including attempted murder, after he allegedly shot at police while running away, police documents show. Brodie Jarrett, 30, faces 16 charges after police said he shot at officers while running away after police found what they believed to be a stolen vehicle. On Wednesday, May 28, at around 9:45 p.m., officers with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department were conducting an area check for suspicious vehicles in the 1900 block of North Decatur Boulevard. The officers found a 2019 Ram with a license plate that a records check showed was registered to a 2006 Dodge, according to an arrest report. One officer also saw a 'meth pipe' on the center console. Police spoke to an employee at a nearby Dotty's Casino, asking if she knew who drove the truck. The employee 'quietly' responded and 'subtly' pointed to a man, later identified as Jarrett, in the business who was holding a dog, the report stated. Jarrett stood up and began to leave the building. One of the officers attempted to speak to Jarrett, but he ignored the officer, dropped the dog, and ran from the officers, according to the report. As officers ran after Jarrett, they heard 'several' gunshots coming from where Jarrett was located. Ten gunshots were heard on body-worn camera footage, the report said. While officers attempted to contain a perimeter to search for Jarrett, a phone number registered to Jarrett called 911, claiming to be the victim of a carjacking. On Thursday, May 29, at around 3:30 a.m., officers found Jarrett on the patio of a residence in the 1700 block of Cordoba Lane. While police took him into custody, Jarrett recieved a 'minor dog bite' from an LVMPD K9, according to the report. During a search, police found an unloaded handgun magazine in Jarrett's pocket. Jarrett told police that he ran because he had a warrant for his arrest out of Oregon. He said that while he was running from police, he heard gunshots and thought the officers were shooting at him, the report stated. Jarrett told police he walked to Dotty's until confronted about the truck, when Jarrett claimed he got the truck from a 'friend of a friend' a week prior. When asked about a handgun, Jarrett claimed not to know anything about a gun. When police brought up video cameras from the area, Jarrett said he was done answering questions and asked for an attorney, according to the report. Jarrett was held at the Clark County Detention Center on a $350,000 bail. His preliminary hearing was scheduled for June 18. He faces the following charges: Two counts of attempted murder with the use of a deadly weapon Ten counts of assault on a protected person with the use of a deadly weapon Possessing, receiving, or transferring a stolen vehicle Resisting a public officer with a firearm Owning or possessing a gun by a prohibited person Carrying a concealed gun without a permit Court records show Jarrett was also charged with battery by a prisoner on June 4.

Archaeologist discovers Viking secrets during epic three-year journey at sea
A graduate student in Sweden has been learning about Vikings through an unusual method: He's done it by sailing like one. Archaeologist Greer Jarrett, a doctoral student at Lund University, has navigated over 3,000 miles along historical Viking trade routes in the Arctic Ocean. Advertisement With the help of his team, the academic has sailed the seas with a reconstructed sailing boat that would have been used by Vikings 1,200 years ago. So what has his research uncovered so far? Among other things, Jarrett has identified four possible Viking harbors along the coast of Norway. Jarrett's research suggests that Vikings ventured farther from Scandinavia than previously thought and used decentralized port networks during their journeys, according to a press release published by Lund University. 'In his latest study, he has found evidence of a decentralized network of ports, located on islands and peninsulas, which probably played a central role in trade and travel in the Viking era,' the statement added. Advertisement Due to the type of boats Vikings used, Jarrett said that they likely used small, easily accessible harbors quite often. With the help of his team, the academic has sailed the seas with a reconstructed sailing boat that would have been used by Vikings 1,200 years ago. Greer Jarrett /Lund University 'With this type of boat, it has to be easy to get in and out of the harbor in all possible wind conditions. There must be several routes in and out.' The archaeologist also noted that, while Viking historians know where trade journeys generally started and ended, knowledge about the more informal stops is scant. Advertisement Jarrett said his research is focused on 'what happened on the journeys between these major trading centers.' 'My hypothesis is that this decentralized network of ports, located on small islands and peninsulas, was central to making trade efficient during the Viking Age,' he explained. He also ran into a few challenges during his three-year journey. In one instance, while 15 miles out to sea, the boat's mast spar broke and sent the mainsail toppling down. Advertisement While Viking historians know where trade journeys generally started and ended, knowledge about the more informal stops is scant. Catrin Jakobsson /Lund University 'We had to lash two oars together to hold the sail, and hope that it would hold,' the student recalled. 'We made it back to the harbor safely, but then we had to spend several days repairing the boat before we could sail again.' 'On another trip, a minke whale suddenly surfaced and flapped its huge tail fin just meters from the boat.' Underwater currents and downslope winds also made it difficult for him to navigate near land. Jarrett needed to develop 'mental maps' to figure out where to go, as the Vikings did. But he was also pleasantly surprised by other aspects of the journey. Jarrett found that the primitive boats are stable, even without a deep keel, the release indicated. The archaeologist also learned how important relationships were during these voyages, where Vikings had to rely on one another to sail and survive. 'You need a boat that can withstand all kinds of weather conditions,' he said. 'But if you don't have a crew that can cooperate and put up with each other for long periods, these journeys would probably be impossible.' Advertisement 'The cold in [Norway's] Lofoten Islands was a challenge,' Jarrett said. 'Our hands really suffered. At that point, I realized just how crucial it is to have a good crew.' The Viking Era lasted from roughly 800 A.D. to 1050 A.D. Remnants of the period are still being found across Europe. Advertisement Last year, two curious metal detectorists found a 1,000-year-old Viking 'wallet.' More recently, Swedish archaeologists announced the discovery of an 'unusual' Viking-era coffin in April.

Park to honor memory of revered Beckley supporter
Dr. Thomas Warren Jarrett lived a rich, full life. When he passed away on Oct. 22, 2023, Jarrett left behind loving family, friends and colleagues and a community blessed and strengthened by his presence — as well as a litany of professional and personal accomplishments achieved during a successful journey through life. However, for the former Daniels orthodontist and longtime community leader, an impressive resume wasn't nearly as important as his friends and his community, Dr. Mike Kominsky, one of those friends, said Thursday. "He was just the kind of guy that liked to do things under the cover of darkness," said Kominsky, who formed a friendship with Jarrett over the years based on a shared love of the outdoors, as well as gardening. "He didn't look for the accolades or didn't want to be honored for what he did. "He was always instrumental in trying to beautify Beckley; Beckley was his passion." "He was really into family and hometown, and he really wanted to see Beckley make it," Kominsky added. "He was a wealthy man, but his wealth was his friends, really. He always wanted to never lose touch. ... Friendship was everything to him." Pete Torrico II — another Jarrett friend who helped Kominsky and others spearhead the creation of Tom Jarrett Memorial Park on Raleigh County Memorial Airport property in recent months under the auspices of the Beckley Area Foundation and in conjunction with Bob Runion and the airport authority — said the park is a fitting memorial to Jarrett in recognizing the impact he had on the Beckley area. Torrico, a lifelong Beckley resident who had an enduring friendship with Jarrett, said he and Jarrett were simply "just good buddies." According to Torrico, the first phase of the recent Beckley Area Foundation project has included upgrading a gravel lot at the Raleigh County Airport pond with paving, installation of a sturdy, bear-resistant trash can constructed by J & J Fabricating of Beckley, benches, a memorial plaque recognizing Jarrett's life, concrete work and a new handicap-accessible fishing pier. Also included in the effort has been the installation of a waterfall in the center of the pond. The pond is a special regulation area supervised by the WVDNR Wildlife Resources Section. "This is a DNR-supervised pond," said Torrico. "They came in, lowered the lake, cleaned it out and got all the vegetation out." The DNR stocks the pond on a regular basis. Phase 2 will include a shelter, which is in place but awaiting the placement of a metal roof. The site will eventually also include a 4-foot wide walking trail around the lake, said Torrico. The park project was funded by an earmark (matched locally) from the BAF based on $250,000 gifted to the organization from Jarrett's will, which was matched quickly by the public. More money has been raised of late from family and friends for future work, said Carrico. Torrico, who helped Jarrett form the popular Chili Night in Beckley, said the aim is to have the facility designated to be used for children, handicapped people and veterans for fishing. "Everything is handicap-accessible," he said. Torrico stressed that an organization named SAW (Service and Witness), a group of retirees who build handicap ramps for free for people who can't afford them, built the 8-foot by 50-foot fishing pier and the shelter labor-free, with the locals providing the materials. The project "kind of fit all of Tom's passions: fishing, flying, just outdoor conservation," said Kominsky, who added that Jarrett was "kind of just an infectious guy." "We were kind of next-door neighbors," Kominsky added. "Our gardening brought us together. He had a little garden over at Glade Springs and I'd go over every spring and help him start it. He invited me to work with him. That was just our passion, gardening and just enjoying life, and hiking also." In the future, wildflowers and some trees or shrubbery will be added to the project, Kominsky said. The Tom Jarrett Memorial Park will be dedicated on June 27 from 2 to 4 p.m. Dena Cushman, executive director of BAF, said it has been a worthy project for the organization and the community. "It's one of our bigger projects that we've done, and we've been looking for bigger, impactful projects," she said. "Dr. Jarrett was one of our past board members and a friend, so that means a lot to the foundation to be able to do this in his honor. "Also, it does help the people who want to use the park." She also said the project will benefit the airport as it serves as a successful beautification project. Cushman said Jarrett's will provided $250,000 to the foundation with the stipulation that it be matched by the public. In addition to earmarking some of the funds for the memorial park project, the remaining funds are used to leverage more endowments, she explained. Jarrett's children also created a fund in his name at the time of his passing. For more information on the Thomas W. Jarrett Memorial Fund, which was established in memory of Jarrett by his children, or to explore starting a similar fund or leaving a legacy gift on behalf of a family member or friend, contact the BAF at 1210 South Kanawha St., Beckley, WV 25801, call BAF at 304-253-3806 or email info@ A local fisherman, 25-year-old Brendon Mann, of Beckley, was among those fishing on Thursday from the new pier at the park. Mann, who has been wheelchair-bound since 2021, said he appreciates the improvements made to the park, saying it makes fishing easier for him. "I love fishing," said Mann. "This pond has taught me patience. Because coming out fishing, you don't catch one every time. You just have to persevere through it. Come out when you want and when you can, and have a good time doing it and being in nature." • • • In 1977, Jarrett — a 1968 graduate of Greenbrier Military School who pursued his post-secondary education at WVU and St. Louis University — moved to Beckley and opened his orthodontic practice. According to his biographical information, he was an active member of the dental community and the Beckley area. He was a member of the American Dental Association and the WV Dental Association, as well as a member of the American Association of Orthodontics and past president of the WV Association of Orthodontics. Jarrett also served on the boards of the New River Dental Society and the Southern Association of Orthodontics, was a Diplomat of the International College of Dentists and a Diplomat of the American Board of Orthodontics. Besides that, he was on faculty at the WVU School of Dentistry in the orthodontics department for over 30 years. Beyond the academics, he loved his community and wanted to see it flourish, friends recall. He was on the board of directors of Beckley Area Foundation, instrumental in building the YMCA Youth Soccer Complex, founder of Citizen Southern Bank, and developer of Brookshire Professional Park. He was also involved in starting FORWARD WV as an economic development tool. He was an originator of Chili Night, a volunteer for Mac's Toy Fund, involved in the Youth Museum, helped design the Peace Totem, started Foster's Hardware Restaurant, contributed to the F.O.L.K. project and Operation Backpack, as well as being an advocate and supporter of the Raleigh County Humane Society, according to the biographical information. Both Torrico and Kominsky pointed this week to Jarrett's love of the outdoors and being in nature. He was appointed by the governor as a DNR commissioner. He loved to fish, hike, golf and bike. He was a founder of Glade Creek Trout Association, a champion golfer, a youth sport coach and a devoted father.

Montez Sweat says Grady Jarrett's leadership will be key for Bears
Montez Sweat says Grady Jarrett's leadership will be key for Bears The Chicago Bears bolstered the roster this offseason with some big additions, including veteran defensive tackle Grady Jarrett. Jarrett spent his first 10 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, before being released ahead of free agency, and he now joins a Bears defensive line loaded with talent. Jarrett could be a big help alongside Montez Sweat and fellow free-agent signing, Dayo Odeyingbo, as well as interior linemen Gervon Dexter and Andrew Billings. While Jarrett's resume speaks for itself, Sweat believes his new teammate can be beneficial both from a production and leadership standpoint, which is very much needed in the locker room. "Grady has brought a lot of leadership and experience to the room," Sweat said. "He helps out the young guys a lot. He's also kind of played in this type before. And some players haven't, including me. So he's helping out in that aspect too. So yeah, Grady is a big help right now." Getting a player in Jarrett not only helps the on-field product, but it helps build a locker room that was broken beyond belief last year. Throughout the 2024 season, amid the team's 10-game losing streak and 5-12 record, players called for more accountability and leadership. Signing players like Jarrett, who has played in a Super Bowl, will help bring back stability in the locker room and, even in his first year, will establish himself as a leader for this defense.
