ELKO, Nev. (AP) - A former Elko police captain who was convicted of incest and sentenced to prison for up to life in prison has been granted parole after serving four years.
The Elko Daily Free Press reports (https://tinyurl.com/hyo2hce) the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners approved Aaron Hughes’ parole on Jan. 11. He could be released from the Lovelock Correction Center as early as April 1.
Elko Police Chief Ben Reed says his department submitted written comments opposing the early release date.
Hughes was charged with incest after a 2008 investigation turned up a video of him engaging in sex acts with a 17-year-old female relative.
He was sentenced to life in prison in 2013 with the possibility of parole after serving two years. The board turned him down in 2015.
