LAS VEGAS (AP) – An Australian man who identifies himself as the 13th Duke of Manchester will remain jailed in Las Vegas at least until next month, pending possible resolution of felony false police report and burglary charges.
Alexander Montagu-Manchester, 53, said nothing as he stood shackled in court.
But during a rambling jailhouse interview a few hours later, he said he’d suffered a brain injury when he was “run over” by a vehicle June 8 in what he characterized as an intentional attack.
Police Officer Laura Meltzer, a department spokeswoman, confirmed that Montagu-Manchester reported the incident, and that it was being investigated. No arrest has been made.
In jail, Montagu-Manchester told The Associated Press he didn’t commit any crimes. “I didn’t break into someone’s house,” he said about the burglary charge.
