""I'm retired police captain with Metro - and I am the chief of investigations right now with AG's Office." "Okay, then you know the law, then," the officer replied. Scott then invoked Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill, telling the officer, "So maybe I just call Kevin and just tell Kevin you're giving me a hard time because - I'm telling you, I didn't know dude.""
"Scott then pulled out his badge to show the officer as they continued to argue. As the exchange ended and the two began to leave, Scott called the officer a slur for gay men. "Bye, I have enough money to pay for mine, f*ggot," Scott said. "OK, very classy," the officer responded. "I'm so glad that you're retired and not with the department anymore.""
William Scott Jr., 62, is no longer employed as chief of investigations at the Nevada Attorney General's Office after body camera footage captured him using a homophobic slur during a traffic-stop confrontation on August 18. Scott was cited for holding his phone while driving a state vehicle, prompting a heated exchange in which he identified himself as a retired Metro police captain and the AG's Office chief and invoked Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill. Scott pulled out his badge during the argument and later said, "Bye, I have enough money to pay for mine, f*ggot." The ticket was amended to a parking violation and he paid a $119 fine. Scott was appointed by Attorney General Aaron Ford in 2020, a year after retiring from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. His LinkedIn profile states that he teaches several law enforcement classes.
