— A man and woman were arrested early Friday morning at 1:50 a.m. in the 2900 block of Mayflower Way for felony vehicle burglary, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy reported.

Sarah Sue Evans, 25, of Carson City and 23 year-old transient Brent Michael Martin were placed in custody following an investigation into a reported vehicle burglary that occurred on Mayflower Way.

According to the arrest report, Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the area on report of a vehicle burglary in progress. The reporting party (RP) told Carson City Dispatch that an unknown male and female were breaking into his vehicle. It was too dark outside for the RP to provide a description of the suspects.

Arriving deputies observed two subjects, a male and a female, walking southbound on Bel Aire Way. The pair was stopped and identified themselves to officers as Evans and Martin, who acknowledged being on Mayflower Way but denied entering any vehicles, the report said.

After Evans and Martin were questioned separately, however, the former admitted that they were involved in the reported vehicle burglary. Evans was Mirandized and agreed to speak further with officers.

She stated that she was inside of the burglarized vehicle and took items from the center console, including a green microfiber cloth.

Upon being Mirandized, Martin continued to insist he was not involved in the vehicle burglary, the report said.

According to the RP, both the male and female suspects were observed inside of his vehicle. They exited after the RP had yelled at them and ran south from the scene.

The RP said he knew one of the subjects was female despite the darkness, because a female voice yelled something back at him as the pair was fleeing the scene.

In describing the subjects, the RP stated the male was wearing dark clothing and the female had on a lighter-colored shirt, the report. This description matched the clothing worn by Martin and Evans.

The RP said his vehicle was missing the tops to his center console as well as a green microfiber towel, the combined value of which was estimated at about $250.

Black and pink backpacks were located during the investigation at a residence on Bel Aire Way, the report said. The pink backpack, in fact, contained a green microfiber cloth matching the RP's description as well as a cell phone belonging to Evans.

Martin and Evans denied ownership of either backpack. They were handcuffed, taken into custody and transported to the Carson City Jail.

During the booking process, latex gloves were located in Martin's pocket and a black handkerchief was found in a pouch pocket of Evans' sweater, the report said. The handkerchief was tie in a way to be used for concealing a face.

Bail: $20,000 each.
