Las Vegas sergeant praised for compassion after Tesla explosion
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – A Las Vegas Metro sergeant was honored for going above and beyond the call of duty following a Tesla Cybertruck explosion at Trump International Hotel on New Year's Day. Las Vegas Metro Sgt. Jesse Brambilla was honored with the LVMPD Foundation's Good Ticket Award for his compassion and care after several witnesses' clothing had to be taken in as evidence by police. The witnesses were then only left with hazmat suits. Las Vegas police release 911 calls from Trump hotel car bombing: 'Craziest thing I've ever seen' Brambilla then spent about $400 of his own money to help purchase clothing for the witnesses who were visiting Las Vegas. 'I can only imagine if you are traveling and you are away from home, you don't necessarily speak the language and then this happens to you,' Brambilla said. 'Any sort of comfort we can give some is important, right? Especially for victims, victims care. It's just the basic thing to do.' The driver who set off the explosion outside the Trump International Hotel on New Year's Day was an active-duty soldier who shot himself before the detonation, according to officials. As part of the recognition for Brambilla's act of compassion Resorts World provided him with a complimentary hotel stay and tickets to a headliner show. The LVMPD Foundation's 'Good Ticket' award honors and highlights the kindness and urgency displayed by the officers and is meant to show the profound impact that thoughtful and humane policing has on individuals, families, and the community.
