Carson City arrests: Woman allegedly threatens to shoot husband over him getting vaccinated

A 74-year-old woman was arrested Saturday for suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, according to a Carson City Sheriff's Office booking report.

She told officers she grabbed her handgun and deactivated the safety mechanism, telling him she didn't want to live anymore. At that point in the interview the officer placed her into protective custody, according to the report.

Officers spoke with the husband who said the woman was angry at him for receiving the vaccination and started calling him names and throwing objects. He stated at some point the woman grabbed her pistol from a drawer, pointed it at him and threatened to kill him and threatened to kill herself. The man said he retreated to the backyard.

A deputy attempted to gain further information about the incident and advised the woman of her Miranda rights. The woman told the officer to shove it up his ass and refused to answer any further questions. Bail: $20,000.
