A North Las Vegas water department manager has been reassigned as officials investigate a complaint about the man who years ago had admitted to making his son's football team sick in a plot for revenge.
North Las Vegas said it reassigned longtime employee Jerome M. Breland to the sewer department from his interim utilities operations manager position, pending the outcome of a complaint sent to the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection.
Breland pleaded guilty to a gross misdemeanor charge after putting ipecac syrup in a bottle of juice at his son's football team practice.
The incident, which took place in 2000, sent seven kids to the hospital. Breland completed probation in 2004.
