Man jailed after kicking in window, door at Carson City church
A 37-year-old Carson City man faces multiple felony charges including possession of stolen property, possession of a stolen firearm and a warrant for grand larceny of a motor vehicle, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.
Phillip Paul Turner was arrested Wednesday, 2:50 p.m. in the 4600 block of Center Drive. He also faces a felony charge of being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm, probation violation and gross misdemeanor carrying a concealed weapon.
According to the arrest report, deputies were called to the area in reference to a suspicious vehicle parked on private property. The license plate came back to a business out of Sparks but had no identifying company details. A call was made to the company which then reported a rear license plate of one of its vehicles had been stolen.
Dispatch called for a tow truck as a deputy checked the VIN through dispatch, which it was then determined the vehicle had been stolen out of Reno on Jan. 8. The deputy observed the vehicle looked like someone had been sleeping inside. There was a clothing bag, sleeping bag, rug and miscellaneous boxes, a Samsung phone box with a Walmart receipt and a Glock gun box that was empty.
Deputies then observed a white male adult in the area of Appion Street. A deputy made contact with the man who said he was lost and was trying to cross the freeway. The deputy told the man he had a nice cell phone, which the man saw the cell phone box the officer was holding and then took off running. The officer yelled for the man to stop and eventually pulled him down to the ground. A handgun fell out of the man’s coat. He was handcuffed and arrested. Bail: $72,500.
