Charged with Home Invasion While Armed at North Las Vegas Detention Center?

Freedom First defends Home Invasion While Armed cases (NRS 205.067) booked through NLV Jail and the North Las Vegas Justice Court. Home invasion requires forcible entry of an occupied dwelling. The "armed" enhancement turns this into one of the most serious Category B felonies — defense often targets the deadly-weapon enhancement first.

We can be on the file within hours — investigating the stop, preserving evidence, contacting the prosecutor, and making sure your story gets told before the State's version becomes the default.

What Home Invasion While Armed (NRS 205.067) actually means

Under Nevada law, Home Invasion While Armed is classified as a violent felony. The State must prove every element beyond a reasonable doubt — and that's where defense work begins.

When the booking happens at North Las Vegas Detention Center, the case typically routes through North Las Vegas Justice Court or North Las Vegas Municipal Court or Clark County District Court. NLV runs its own bail schedule for city ordinance / misdemeanor charges; felonies move to Clark County District Court within 48–72 hours.

Penalties on the table

Category B felony — 2–15 years prison, often with deadly-weapon enhancement.

How we defend Home Invasion While Armed cases

  • No forcible entry / consent to enter
  • No deadly weapon present at entry
  • Identification challenges

Every case is different — but these are the levers that decide outcomes on NRS 205.067 charges out of NLV Jail. The more facts we have early, the more leverage we have at the first court appearance.
