Federal charges against Ori Solomon, the property manager arrested in connection with what authorities described as an illegal biolab at a Las Vegas short-term rental, have been dismissed without prejudice.
Solomon still faces a criminal charge in Clark County for the improper disposal of hazardous waste, according to the report.
The case stems from an investigation after local and federal officials discovered what the source article said has been called an illegal biological lab inside a home Solomon managed near Washington Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard. Investigators recovered suspected biological materials and lab equipment.
Solomon’s federal charges were filed after authorities found multiple firearms at his residence during a search on Jan. 31, 2026. The source article said Solomon is an Israeli citizen in the U.S. on a non-immigrant visa and is not allowed to possess firearms. Prosecutors said multiple guns were seized from his home, according to an affidavit obtained by Channel 13.
The owner of the property where the suspected lab was found, Jia Bei Zhu, was recently found guilty of fraudulently selling more than a million COVID tests for nearly $4 million through his Fresno-based company Universal Meditech Inc.
As of the report, Solomon was due back in Las Vegas Justice Court on June 4.
