Carson City man jailed, allegedly pushes step-daughter into wall, slaps wife over poor grades

A 56-year-old Carson City man was arrested for suspicion of domestic battery after an alleged physical confrontation regarding a teen's poor grades in school, a sheriff's deputy report states.

According to the report, deputies were dispatched to a residence for a domestic battery that had occurred. Deputies met with a teenage girl who stated she had gotten into an argument with her step-father over getting poor grades in school.

She said the man grabbed her by the neck collar, pulling her close, cocked his fist and pushed her. She said she fell and hit the left side of her face into the wall. Her mother then got in between her and the man, at which point he slapped the mother in the face.

Deputies went to the residence and made contact with the man and asked what had happened. The man told deputies, “she got straight F’s and I got in her a**,” the arrest report states.

Deputies asked the man to explain what happened during the conversation, and which point the man said “where are we going with this,” the report states. Deputies told the man to place his hands behind his back.

The man then said “no, no, why!” while stepping back, resisting to place his hands behind his back, according to the report. Deputies pulled him off the porch, at which point he complied and was placed in handcuffs, the report states.

Deputies determined the man was the primary aggressor for suspected domestic battery and he was arrested. Bail: $3,137.

— A 33-year-old transient man was arrested in the area of S. Stewart Street and Little Lane Saturday morning for driving with expired vehicle registration, driving without a valid driver’s license, and driving without insurance.

According to the report, deputies were in the area of South Carson Street when they conducted a registration check on a vehicle at a red light, which showed as being expired since July.

Deputies stopped the vehicle and both occupants were immediately verbally uncooperative, according to the report.

The driver began demanding a sergeant and refused to provide his documents and driver’s license. Both driver and passenger stated they were “traveling” and that the deputies had no reason to stop them.

The deputy said he would call a sergeant, however, if he didn’t provide his driver’s license he would be placed under arrest for delaying and obstructing the traffic stop. The man then provided his Connecticut identification card.

Deputies asked the man if he had an address where a summons could be sent. The man said he did not have an address since he was a “traveler.” The deputy determined since he did not have an address it was necessary to place him under arrest. Bail: $1,001.

— A 39-year-old Carson City man was arrested in the area of N. Carson Street and W. William Street for obstructing and resisting a public officer and being an ex-felon failing to register.

According to the report, a sergeant had been patrolling in the area of N. Carson and W. William when he heard a car horn honking repeatedly. The sergeant made contact with the vehicle to make sure the occupant was OK. Then a man exited the vehicle and began yelling and cursing at him. The sergeant told the man to get back in the vehicle, but instead the man approached him.

Other deputies arrived on scene, and reported seeing a man who was actively pulling away from the sergeant and yelling “extremely loud,” the report states.

Deputies placed the man in handcuffs and he began to calm down. Deputies determined he had a lengthy criminal history and was required to register as an ex-felon.

Deputies asked where he lived, and he told them, which was a different address than he had previously been registered at. Deputies asked if he knew he had to register with the Sheriff’s Office since he was a convicted felon.

The man stated he knew he had to register, but “has not had time.” He was taken into custody without issue. Bail: $654.
