Real estate developer and former gubernatorial candidate Stephen Cloobeck was arrested in Los Angeles County on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, according to jail records. Cloobeck, 64, was booked at the West Hollywood station before 11 a.m. on charges related to a domestic violence incident, as per the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Cloobeck, who ran for governor of Nevada in 2022 as a Democrat before exiting the race in November 2021, is known for his work with Diamond Resorts International. The arrest stems from an alleged altercation at a residence in West Hollywood, though details remain limited.
He was released on bail later that day, with a court appearance scheduled for June 2026. The case is ongoing, and no further information has been released by authorities.
