Carson City deputy stops driver who used parking lot to avoid traffic signal, arrested for multiple offenses
On March 24, a Carson City Sheriff’s Office K-9 deputy conducted a traffic stop at the corner of Saliman and William Street on a driver that used the parking lot at Walgreens to avoid the signal.
Nevada Revised Statute for traffic, 484B.307.8e makes it unlawful to use private property to avoid a signal light. The driver of the vehicle did not have proof of insurance, was using a fictitious license plate, and had a revoked driver’s license, some drugs, paraphernalia, and a firearm were found in the vehicle.
The driver also happened to be an ex-felon which made possession of the firearm unlawful under Nevada law.
30–year–old Tyler Mitchell Woolley was booked into custody at the Carson City Jail on felony charges accompanied with the traffic violations.
Deputies are out every day conducting traffic stops and proactively enforcing the laws with the goal of reducing criminal activity and keeping the streets safe for the citizens and visitors in and around Carson City.
