Carson City Sheriff's arrest log: Oklahoma woman booked on two counts of battery
A 36 year-old Anadarko, Oklahoma, woman was arrested early Friday morning at 1:15 a.m. in the 3200 block of Market Street on two counts of misdemeanor battery and one count of felony interfering with witness reporting a crime, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy reported.
Ashley Marie Passi was taken into custody after Sheriff's deputies were called to a business on report of a verbally aggressive female subject.
Upon arrival, law enforcement officers made contact with two female subjects, including Passi, both of whom were upset with store employees who they said had asked them to leave the premises because of their race, the arrest report said.
Passi continued to yell at store employees who were standing at the entrance to the business while the deputies were interviewing her and the other female subject.
Passi yelled, "I don't give a f---" during the interview and insisted store employees were in the wrong. She also put her arms in front of her multiple times, stating "Just arrest me, because you're going to do so anyway."
Store employees were also interviewed, reporting that one of the female subjects was having a verbal argument with a male inside the store. Staff approached them and instructed them to leave, because they were causing a scene, the report said.
The male left the store, but the female remained, yelling about her freedom of speech. She eventually walked out of the store after staff warned her that authorities would be called if she did not leave, the report said.
The female yelled about white people to other customers as she walked out into the parking lot toward her vehicle.
Staff called Carson City Dispatch at that point, the report said.
As staff members waited at the store entrance, Passi got out of the vehicle and approached the store employees, yelling at them and eventually hitting one female employee in the jaw, knocking the cell phone out of her hand as she was calling dispatch back.
Passi then approached a male employee, who was also trying to call dispatch from his cell phone, and slapped him on his cheeks and nose using both of her hands. His phone was also knocked out of his hands.
She then walked back to the vehicle in the parking lot, where law enforcement had subsequently made contact with both female subjects.
The employees signed citizen arrest forms to press charges against Passi, who was then detained in handcuffs and taken into custody by Sheriff's deputies.
Security footage at the store showed Passi hitting both employees and knocking cell phones out of their hands, preventing them from completing their 9-1-1 calls to dispatch.
Passi was transported to the Carson City Jail for booking. Bail: $5,000.

— A 30 year-old transient man was arrested Friday morning at 6:08 a.m. in the area of U.S. Highway 50 East and Flint Drive on multiple felony offenses, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy said, including commercial and vehicle burglary, possession of stolen credit cards and destruction of property valued at more than $5,000.
According to the arrest report, Jacobe Aaron Kenneston was taken into custody after a Sheriff's deputy responded to a burglary call at a business in East Carson City.
The reporting party (RP) reported to Carson City Dispatch that when he arrived at work early Friday morning, he noticed lights on inside the business. Upon entering the premises, the RP also noted that office doors, cabinets and desk drawers were left open, and it appeared that they had been gone through by someone.
The RP further stated that he heard yelling coming from the inside the business, the arrest report said, and the suspect was observed leaving out of a kitchen door, yelling and waving his arms. The suspect then followed the RP outside of the building.
When asked what he was doing there, the suspect did not respond and began walking westbound on U.S. Highway 50 East, the report said.
As a Sheriff's deputy approached the area, the suspect was observed walking westbound along the highway continuing to wave his arms in the air. The deputy stopped and made contact with the suspect, who was identified as Kenneston.
The RP was then asked to respond to the deputy's location, where Kenneston was positively identified by the witness.
Kenneston was then detained in handcuffs, and a subsequent search of Kenneston's person recovered two credit cards with another person's name on them as well as several debit gift cards, the report said.
Kenneston was transported to the Carson City Jail, where he then agreed to speak with law enforcement.
Kenneston admitted to being inside the fence of the property, but was unable to describe how he got inside. He also stated he was not inside any building, but then admitted to being inside of a shop.
Kenneston was booked on multiple felony charges. Bail: $20,000.
— A 24 year-old Reno man was arrested Friday night at 7:26 p.m. in the area of North Roop and East Long streets on a pair of felony bench warrants, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy reported, as well as misdemeanor obstructing and drug paraphernalia possession offenses.
Erik Torres Mendoza was taken into custody after Sheriff's deputies responded to a call about an intoxicated subject.
The RP told Carson City Dispatch that a male subject, a former client, had come to the location and told her he was a wanted person, the arrest report said. He also left a knife in the bathroom.
Upon arrival, law enforcement observed the male subject behind some trees. He identified himself verbally to officers and asked, "What's going on?"
As Mendoza looked at the Sheriff's deputies, though, he then started to run. Officers yelled for him to stop, but he ran between a thrift store and some apartment buildings in the area, causing deputies to lose sight of him, the report said.
Deputies then ran in another direction to try and cut off the suspect. Mendoza then appeared in front of one deputy, who drew his weapon and gave commands to stop, put his hands up and get on the ground, the report said.
Mendoza initially complied, but then got up. He was commanded again to get on the ground. Mendoza kept his hands in the air, but did not comply.
At that point, a second deputy arrived and drew his taser. Mendoza finally complied with commands to get on the ground, the report said.
He was detained in handcuffs and searched. During the suspect search, deputies recovered two glass pipes wrapped in paper recognized as methamphetamine pipes.
The suspect talked to law enforcement after being transported to the Carson City Jail. His identity was run through a records check, which confirmed an outstanding arrest warrant issued out of Placer County, CA, as well as an active priority 5 warrant from the Nevada Parole and Probation Division.
Mendoza was booked into the Carson City Jail with a no bail hold from Nevada Parole and Probation.
— A 31 year-old Reno man was arrested Friday evening at 6:10 p.m. in the 2600 block of U.S. Highway 50 East on felony drug possession with intent to sell, as well as misdemeanor contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy reported.
Alando Scott Adams was taken into custody after a traffic stop in which Sheriff's deputies observed a gray BMW fail to come to a stop at a posted stop sign intersection.
Upon making the stop, a Sheriff's deputy observed the silhouettes of the driver, front passenger and a rear passenger moving and looking around inside of the vehicle, the arrest report said.
Contact was made with the driver, identified as Adams, who was instructed to roll down his dark-tinted windows. Two 14 year-old minor were observed and identified as the passengers, the report said.
Adams was observed to have a wad of cash in different currency denominations in his lap. He said the cash was going to be used for purchasing gas for the vehicle.
Adams was asked to exit the vehicle for further questioning. He gave law enforcement consent to search and remove contents from a pocket, which contained another wad of cash, the report said.
A lunch box was observed inside of the vehicle, and when deputies asked Adams what was inside of it, he stated, "lunch."
Consent was given to search the lunch box, but as Adams was giving it to law enforcement, he removed a sunglasses case before dropping it. He was told to stop before he could reach down to pick it up, the report said.
When asked what was inside of the case, Adams said it was marijuana. Two small plastic bags of marijuana were recovered. Deputies explained that marijuana was legal in Nevada.
Consent was given to search the front of the vehicle, but Adams refused to let deputies search the locked glove box.
Adams said he was using the second wad of cash to pay his rent, but after reporting what his rent was, the amount of cash in the wad was not enough to cover the rent.
Deputies advised Adams that they would proceed with requesting a search warrant to search the glove box if he did not give consent, the report said.
Adams then said the glove box contained marijuana, but deputies asked why he didn't admit to that before after they explained marijuana was legal to possess in Nevada.
In total, seven bags of marijuana were recovered from the vehicle. Based on those findings, along with Adams' odd behavior statements and the different wads of cash found, the suspect was detained in handcuffs and taken into custody for marijuana possession with intent to sell, the report said.
The juvenile male passengers were observed to have white and green-colored residue on their tongues, consistent with marijuana use, resulting in the additional charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The juveniles were released to parents. Adams was transported and booked into the Carson City Jail. Bail: $5,000.
