Searchlight is a former mining community in southern Clark County that is probably best known for being Senator Harry Reid’s hometown. Although its population is only a few hundred people, thousands of commuters and tourists pass through it each day via the I-95.
Due to Searchlight’s location on a major thoroughfare, the Nevada Highway Patrol is always out in full force searching for alleged violators of Nevada DUI law and Nevada traffic ticket law. Our Las Vegas criminal defense attorneys routinely appear in Searchlight Justice court on these kinds of cases as well as many other criminal offenses.
