UPDATE 2AM: Carson City sheriff's officers have arrested two women in connection with a vehicle chase Thursday night in which a patrol vehicle was intentionally rammed. A third person, described as a bald Hispanic male, remained at large as of early Friday morning.

The deputy was unhurt in the incident, which happened after 8 p.m. Thursday. Carson City Sheriff's Sgt. Jim Primka said events unfolded after the deputy ran a vehicle license plate near Walmart that came back stolen.

Arrested were Nina Montalbano, 26, and Ebony Turnipseed, 21.

A pursuit ensued between the patrol officer and the suspect vehicle. During the pursuit, the vehicle intentionally rammed the patrol car in the Northridge area and then crashed into the front yard of a residence, Primka said. The Hispanic male fled the scene, jumping over fences and was reported to have been seen with a gun.

Two females were in the vehicle. One was interviewed and released while the other was taken into custody. After further interviews, it was determined that the female who was released was indeed a suspect.

The woman was tracked down to a Carson City bar on Winnie Lane, where she was with a male friend, who was also arrested but on separate charges unrelated to the vehicle chase, Primka said.

Aiding Carson City authorities in the search was a RAVEN helicopter from Washoe County, the Nevada Highway Patrol and a Douglas County K9 unit, Primka said.

The suspect at large is described as bald and not wearing a shirt.
