Vegas lawyer facing felony charges in cellphone in jail case

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A lawyer who represents a Nevada inmate who was wounded in a fatal shooting involving state prison guards in 2014 is accused of illegally providing a cellphone to him and another detainee in jail in Las Vegas.

An ex-prison guard trainee who authorities say wounded Arevalo and killed another inmate with a shotgun in November 2014 is due for trial next February on an involuntary manslaughter charge.
