On Saturday evening, a woman flagged down a deputy to tell him about a stolen car that was parked on Burton Street. The deputy located the vehicle and watched it from a distance to see if those responsible for stealing it would return.

About an hour later, the deputy saw two male subjects get into the car and drive off. The deputy stopped the car in the 300 block of East Adams. As the deputy approached the car, the driver took off on foot, carrying a plastic grocery bag in his hand, and jumped over a fence.

According to the arrest report, the passenger, Christopher Schumacher, 29, of Carson City, refused to cooperate with commands to stay on the ground, and struggled with the deputy. The deputy eventually had to shock Schumacher with his Taser to get him under control.

A short time later deputies located the suspected driver of the car, Mario Quevedo, 24, hiding in a nearby backyard. He reportedly took off running, but ran into two other deputies and was taken into custody. Deputies were unable to locate the grocery bag the suspect was seen carrying when he exited the car.

A search of Schumacher revealed he was armed with a double-bladed dagger and a folding knife. He also reportedly smelled strongly of marijuana. He also reportedly was verbally abusive to the deputy, telling him "you'll get what's coming to you. I'll catch up with you some day."

Schumacher was arrested for felony grand larceny (auto), felony possession of stolen property, gross misdemeanor possession of a dangerous weapon and misdemeanor obstructing/resisting. His bail was set at $27,932.
