Carson City Sheriff's arrest log: Pair arrested for assault, battery with a deadly weapon

Carson City Sheriff's deputies arrested a 19 year-old transient and a 23 year-old Carson City resident Saturday night at 11:14 p.m. in the area of Carmine Street and Lompa Lane on multiple felony and misdemeanor counts, according to Carson City Sheriff's deputy arrest report, including battery and assault with a deadly weapon.

Zachary Dwight Foore and Abel Jesus Machuca were taken into custody after law enforcement officers responded to a fight in progress in the 2400 block of Dori Way in East Carson City.

According to the arrest report, dispatch had advised deputies that the suspects were leaving the scene in an eighties or nineties model Ford pickup.

A traffic stop was later conducted on the suspect vehicle at the corner of Carmine Street and N. Lompa Lane, where Foore (the passenger) and Machuca (the driver) were arrested.

The victim reported that he was attacked by 2-3 subjects while walking along Dori Way. The subjects had pulled up in the suspect vehicle and one of the individuals had pulled a gun on the victim, the report said, pointing it at his head.

Attackers allegedly pushed the victim to the ground, according to the victim's statement. Numerous facial lacerations and a swollen, bleeding lip were observed on the victim by responding deputies.

During the traffic stop on the suspect vehicle, one of the deputies reported observing Foore reaching down in the vehicle and opening the passenger side door. The officer ordered the suspect to close the door and place his hands on the dashboard.

Another deputy reported observing Foore moving around in the front passenger seat as though shuffling something around.

A subsequent search of the vehicle by deputies produced a .38 caliber revolver under the passenger seat of the pickup, the arrest report showed.

One of the deputies reported smelling a moderate odor of alcohol coming from inside the vehicle. Machuca had admitted to drinking to shots earlier, the arrest report said.

Machuca also admitted to not having a driver's license. Dispatch confirmed his driver's license had been revoked for DUI.

Machuca was placed under arrest initially for suspicion of DUI alcohol and operating a motor vehicle with a revoked driver's license. He was to be administered the preliminary breath test and a field sobriety test at the Carson City Jail, where he refused to participate. The arresting deputy had originally determined the area of the traffic stop unsafe to perform field sobriety testing, the report stated.

Felony assault with a deadly weapon was later added added to his arrest counts because of the discovered firearm. Bail: $20,000.

Foore, meanwhile, was found to have multiple outstanding warrants, including three through the Carson City Justice Court and one from Nevada Youth Parole, the arrest report stated.

Foore was booked into the Carson City Jail on the following felony offenses: battery with a deadly weapon, assault with a deadly weapon, youth parole violation, possession of a firearm with serial number removed and providing false information to avoid prosecution. The following misdemeanor charges were attached to his arrest: battery and probation violation. Bail: $25,000.
