From Safe Camp to Courtroom: Questions Linger as Karma Box Supervisor Faces Charges

What we found while searching the Second Judicial District Court website.

Remember the individual arrested who worked with the Karma Box Project — the same person listed as a supervisor at the Nevada Cares Campus Safe Camp? Yes, that one.

Karma Box Project’s agreement with the Washoe County Human Services Agency requires background checks before employment. Whether that requirement was consistently followed remains an open question. What we do know is this: Matthew Brandon Grimsley is now headed to Second Judicial District Court, case CR25-2902.

We’ll be following the case closely.

It also raises an uncomfortable but necessary question — will the District Attorney’s Office attempt to make a deal? With DA Chris Hicks up for reelection, one would hope accountability, not convenience, is the priority.

Sunlight matters. So does oversight. And this case deserves both.
