A 51-year-old Carson City man was arrested Tuesday in the 3300 block of Desatoya Drive for misdemeanor suspicion of second offense DUI and domestic battery, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.
According to the arrest report, deputies were called to the 1200 block of Woodside Drive at around 1:30 p.m. for a report of a domestic battery. The suspect allegedly punched his son twice in the head. A deputy investigating the matter observed red marks on the victim’s left side upper cheek and minor swelling near his left temple area.
At around 2 p.m. the suspect pulled up to the location on a motorcycle. The officer was conducting the investigation when the suspect began yelling at the officer, telling him to tell his children to get home. The deputy told the man to return to his home on Desatoya where the officer would meet him when he finished.
