Carson City deputies arrest man for possession of stolen car
Jay William Denny, 49, was arrested Thursday afternoon after a deputy reported seeing him attempting to enter a car that had been reported stolen.
The deputy responded to a report of a stolen car being located in the 2200 block of North Carson Street. The reporting party stated that an older white male with a beard had been in and out of the vehicle, so the deputy stayed back and watched the vehicle to see if the subject returned.
A short while later, the deputy reported seeing Denny approach the vehicle and insert a key into the door. The deputy said that when Denny spotted him, he walked away from the vehicle. When the deputy approached Denny and asked him if the car was his, the subject allegedly said yes, and the keys to the car were in his pocket.
Denny was booked for possession of stolen property. His bail was set at $15,000.
