Police say a Las Vegas police officer has been charged with felony battery and is on leave pending an investigation into whether he attacked a man outside a Henderson home.
Officer Mark Walton is an 18-year veteran of the force. Police say he attacked Jonathan Nishimoto in November outside the bedroom window of the 19-year-old woman with whom Walton had been having an affair.
Walton turned himself in January 30th. Police say the attack was motivated by jealously. Nishimoto suffered two broken ribs and a broken nose.
