UPDATE: Carson City sheriff's deputies were looking for a man wearing a surgical mask who walked through the Smith's grocery parking lot early Tuesday evening and slashed the tires of a vehicle.

Dispatch received the call at 5:48 p.m. of a white man with brown hair wearing a surgical mask and a creamed colored jacket walk through the parking lot of the Smith's on William Street, slashing tires. He then fled in the direction of the Carson City Community Center and library. One vehicle had its tires slashed, said Carson City Sheriff's Office Sgt. Earl Mays.

The Nevada Division of Motor Vehicles was unable to process any driver license transactions Tuesday afternoon. According to its website, a fiber-optic cable cut has left the department unable to perform national record checks.

The outage includes new licenses, instruction permits and driver authorization cards, renewals and similar transactions such as reinstatements.

Drive tests and vehicle transactions are unaffected.

A 47-year-old Kansas man was booked Monday into Carson City Jail on a felony warrant for being a fugitive from justice. John Paul Stewart was booked by the Carson City Sheriff's Office jail staff. The warrant was filed for record March 18, 2013 out of Campbell County, Wyo. Stewart will be extradited.

A memorial ribbon is being built this week at the Nevada Department of Transportation headquarters in Carson City that will memorialize the 25 NDOT employees who have died since the agency began while doing road construction work.

The ribbon is part of a campaign recognizing National Work Zone Awareness Week going on now through Friday. Once finished, the memorial at NDOT headquarters, 1263 South Stewart Street, will be draped with potted flowers.
