LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas Metropolitan Police safely arrested a man wanted for attempted murder after he carjacked his ex-girlfriend earlier this month, officials said.

On Aug. 18, police said Vincent Farmer pushed his ex-girlfriend from her vehicle and fled. Officers later learned Farmer also had an active attempted murder warrant out of Nye County.

With coordinated teamwork, officers located the vehicle and used the Grappler device to stop it on U.S. 95 near mile marker 99, north of Kyle Canyon Road. The specialized tool deploys a net around a vehicle’s tire to quickly bring it to a controlled stop.

Police said the Grappler allowed officers to end the dangerous situation without further harm. “Keeping our community safe is always our priority,” the department said in a statement.
