— A 20-year-old Carson City man was arrested Sunday in the 1400 block of Clearview Drive on a misdemeanor charge of reckless driving. According to the arrest report, a witness contacted dispatch at 11:15 p.m. about a pair of Ford Mustangs racing south on I-580. The witness provided a plate number, which had been involved in a high speed pursuit at 2 a.m. that morning. Sparks police advised they were involved in a high speed pursuit with the red Mustang as it traveled east bound on I-80 toward Fernley.

The speeds were in excess of 100 mph and Sparks Police terminated the pursuit for public safety reasons, according to the arrest report. The plate returned to the 20-year-old suspect of Carson City. Dispatch advised the man was arrested for reckless driving the week before as well as numerous other times.

An officer located both Ford Mustangs at South Edmonds and Clearview and pulled in behind the red car and activated his lights and siren. The car failed to yield for about one block then turned right onto Valley View. The vehicle still did not stop and continued slowly to the end of the street which appeared to be a dead end. It was only at that point that the driver stopped, according to the arrest report.

The dark Mustang pulled behind the officer as did the reporting witness who called in the reckless driving to dispatch. Two additional deputies arrived on scene a short time later as the arresting officer made contact with the driver of the red car. Another officer spoke with the driver of the dark Mustang.

The 20-year-old suspect pretended to be confused about why he was being stopped. The officer advised him a citizen witnessed his reckless driving and wanted to sign a complaint. He exited the vehicle and was checked for weapons. He granted a constant to search the vehicle in which officers found a loaded Glock pistol magazine but the pistol was not present, the arrest report states.

Another officer advised the suspect was arrested the previous week for reckless driving and he had been cited multiple times on similar charges. Officers found a citation from NHP located in the vehicle in which he was caught speeding and claimed his speedometer did not work.

The reporting witness relayed her account of the driving she saw on I-580 approaching Clearview in which she estimated the cars were going over 100 mph. The witness completed a statement. The 20-year-old was taken into custody. At jail the officer was contacted by Sparks Police who confirmed the vehicle pursuit earlier. The suspect was Mirandized and refused to speak about the incident. The driver of the dark Mustang was cited for reckless driving. Bail: $637.
