LAS VEGAS -- The two men accused of running over a teen after stealing his iPad appeared in court Thursday morning for their arraignment and pleaded not guilty.

Police say 21-year-old Michael Solid was driving the getaway vehicle. Investigators believe 18- year-old Jacob Dismont was the one who jumped out of the SUV and dragged 15-year-old Marcos Arenas to the passenger side door, causing him to fall and be run over by the vehicle. The incident happened on May 16 near Charleston Boulevard and Torrey Pines Drive.

Both men are being held without bail and are facing murder and robbery charges. Their trial date is set for Aug. 4, 2013.

LAS VEGAS -- A Metro police officer is facing five counts of soliciting a prostitute while he was investigating crimes of prostitution.

Peter Connell, who has been with the department for more than 18 years, is on paid administrative leave while the case is investigated.

Connell, 56, had previously been fired from Metro but was reinstated a few years ago after arbitration.

According to the arrest report, the investigation began after an officer saw Connell talking with a prostitute while he was off-duty. Investigators followed Connell for months and witnessed him, on several occasions, visiting the apartment of Mary Anne Moore, who had previous prostitution arrests.

In the report, Moore told police Connell would pay her $20 to $40 for oral sex. Moore was not charged.

LAS VEGAS -- Thousands of Clark County School District students whose primary language is not English will soon have $50 million funding more of their education.

Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval signed the state's first-ever funded bill for English language learners, or ELL, at the YMCA, 4141 Meadows Lane, on Wednesday.

Of the 67,000 students considered English language learners, 75 percent are below average in reading and more than half are underperforming in math.

Sandoval said he believes these funds will help improve the bulk of students who lag behind.

Though too young to understand, Sandoval told YMCA students surrounding him that by signing the bill, the state is saying, "We believe in you".
