Another $200,000 went to the PACT Coalition for Safe & Drug Free Communities in Las Vegas, Chesnoff said. Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson dropped five more serious drug trafficking charges as part of the agreement.

Police said Nicholas told officers he brought the canister to Las Vegas aboard his private jet for "recreational use."
