Buffalo Jim Barrier has died
In rather shocking news, James "Buffalo Jim" Barrier, the auto shop owner who fought with his business neighbor, Strip-king Rick Rizzolo of the Crazy Horse Too so-called Gentleman's Club fame for so long, died suddenly Sunday afternoon.
The Clark County Coroner's Office has not listed a cause of death.
Barrier was talking strongly of running for Mayor.
