LAS VEGAS (KVVU) — A Nye County prisoner was recaptured after she was released due to a clerical error.
Nicole Ashley Brownlee, 28 from Pahrump, was sentenced to prison for drug and violation of probation charges, according to Nye County Sheriff’s Office. Brownlee was awaiting prison transport at Nye County Detention Center.
