Governor Gibbons sues First Lady Dawn for divorce - seeks her removal from the mansion

After many months of speculation, Governor Jim Gibbons has sued for divorce from his wife of 21 years, and Nevada’s current First Lady Dawn Gibbons. In filing his divorce papers, Gibbons says he and his wife are no longer compatible. He also seeks Mrs. Gibbons removal from the mansion. State law requires that the Governor reside in Carson City. After the Gibbons’ recent separation, Governor Gibbons moved temporarily to the home the two own in Reno. That’s possibly where Dawn Gibbons will find herself living shortly.

Governor Gibbons was implicated in an incident in Las Vegas last year in which he was accused of making a rather forceful pass at an attractive cocktail waitress at a Las Vegas Strip restaurant. The woman initially sought to file charges against the Governor but later backed off. So Las Vegas Metro Police said without a victim, there are no charges, and promptly dropped the matter.
