According to Phillips, surveillance cameras in the barns captured the teen entering at least two stalls, which helped lead police to her.

“Detectives located the teen at a nearby hotel and took her into custody without incident. She was transported to Clark County Juvenile Hall, where she was booked on 12 counts of willful or malicious killing, maiming or torturing of an animal, horse, and three counts of felony malicious destruction of private property over $5,000,” investigators said.

The teen suspect was a competitor in the event, according to a statement from the National Barrel Horse Association, which said the incident was immediately addressed.

“The individual involved has been removed and placed in the care of authorities, and there is no ongoing threat of any kind,” NBHA officials added.
