Ex-Wife Speaks Out Amid Legal Pursuits Against Storey County Director of Emergency Management, Posts Video Showing Him Kicking Child

Elise Greco the ex wife of Adam Wilson has written officials working in Lyon County District Attorney’s Office demanding an explanation for why perjury charges sought against him have been declined, with a video showing him kicking their older son and punching their younger one now available for viewing on her Instagram u/thatsassyitaliangirl.

We previously reported about how a felony child abuse charge against Wilson, the current Storey County Director of Emergency Management, related to what happened on April 3rd with his children and shown in the video, was dropped.  

The video was also shown in custody court earlier this month. 

It clearly shows a man violently kicking one older boy in an upper part of his leg and then punching and possible kicking another as they prepare to go to school with their backpacks on.  The video shows the man from the back near the home's entrance door.  

The two boys, identified as being 13 and 10, are then seen on a video from outside the home grimacing and holding body parts in discomfort followed by a man who hurries to a dark blue vehicle with a younger girl also getting in.

The older boy is reported to have then talked about the incident to law enforcement and to his principal at Virginia City Middle School, before he was transported to the hospital.

“I want a specific explanation—not a generic statement about prosecutorial discretion. What element of the perjury statute did you determine could not be established? Did you personally review the video and the affidavit side-by-side? If so, how do you reconcile the sworn statement with what is shown on the recording?” the ex-wife asked in her email on Monday. 

The document in question in the Third Judicial District Court is an “opposition to modify conditions of decree of divorce" with Adam Wilson's response.  

It says “father spanked both boys as a form of discipline and to stop their behavior,” while the video shows kicking and not spanking.

It then states that the oldest child “made a false allegation against Father claiming that Father kicked him in the leg.”  That is not a false allegation as the video obtained through a search warrant clearly shows the abrupt kick.  

“The police were called and a detective interviewed Father and arrested him after Father refused to tell the officer that (the older son) was a liar,” it then indicates.

“Father attempted to explain to the officer that there is a difference in calling (the older son) a liar vs a child who has lied. This explanation went to deaf ears and Father was arrested,” it also notes, repeatedly blaming the child, and not admitting to the kicking shown in the video.  

We contacted officials from the Lyon County District Attorney’s Office but they have yet to respond.  Adam Wilson ignored a previous email we sent to him about this matter, as did UNR, for which he’s believed to still be a reserve sergeant. 

Wilson was previously in the news in 2017 while working as a UNR police officer for saying he could shoot a Black graduate student and former UNR football player Kevin McReynolds during a contentious traffic stop right by the university.

At that time, Wilson was put on administrative leave.  

“I was reminded of the order in which my community sees me by Officer Adam Wilson who at a routine traffic stop laughingly told me “I’m just going to shoot him if this goes sideways because f*** that,” McReynolds wrote about that incident.  

Wilson’s LinkedIn indicates he became Director of Emergency Management for Storey County in 2023, after ending his full time employment with the University Police Department in July 2023.
