Alan E. Bigelow, a firefighter with the Pahrump Valley Fire Rescue Service, is still in custody at the Nye County Detention Center after being arrested and booked on three counts of sexual assault last week.

Bigelow's bail was originally set at $150,000 but was reduced to $50,000 in a hearing Friday.

The alleged assault was first reported by the unnamed victim Wednesday, July 27.

The investigation, handled by Dep. Dawn Moore, revealed the victim had gone to Bigelow's residence for a massage, a sheriff's office press release said.

The press release states Bigelow assaulted the victim three times against her will.

A search warrant was executed at Bigelow's residence where "numerous items were discovered and taken as evidence," the report stated.

Authorities had to search for Bigelow, who reportedly did not show up for work the next day.

He gave detectives two separate times to meet with him through his attorney. Detectives finally arrested him Sunday, July 31.
