On June 17, 2025, the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Human Exploitation and Recovery Operations (H.E.R.O) Team conducted a targeted operation to combat human trafficking.
Yesterday’s operation resulted in two victim recoveries, three arrests; four felony charges (1 charge of ex-felon in possession of a firearm, 1 charge of possession of a stolen firearm, 1 charge of possession of a controlled substance and 1 charge of possession of credit card without owner consent); two misdemeanor charges (1 charge of possession of drug paraphernalia and 1 charge of obstructing and resisting); two citations and one recovered stolen firearm.
One of the subjects arrested during the operation was identified as Jordan Robinson, a convicted sex offender for the charge of human trafficking. Robinson was previously convicted of human trafficking.
