Carson City Sheriff's arrest log: Jail inmates charged with felony battery

Two Carson City Jail inmates were charged with felony battery of a protected person after a fist fight erupted between the two Friday afternoon at 2 p.m. inside the Carson City Jail, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy said.

Haywood Moye, 47, and Adrian Hernandez, 26, both of Carson City, were charged with the offenses after a yelling match between the two had escalated into a physical altercation in their cell.

According to the report, a Sheriff's deputy approached the pair's cell in response to yelling that had come from inside of it. Neither inmate spoke when asked repeatedly what the yelling had been about.

The deputy said he then observed Hernandez approach Moye and hit him with his fist. The pair subsequently began to grapple with one another, the report said. The deputy called for help and additional deputies responded to break up the fight.

Once separated, the inmates were asked if they needed medical attention and both had declined, the report said.

Reviewed security footage showed Hernandez and Moye had gotten into an earlier physical altercation before the one witnessed by the deputy.

The inmates were placed in separate holding cells to avoid further incidents, the report said. Bail: $20,000.

Hernandez had been arrested earlier in the day at 10:07 a.m. in the area of Woodside and Sharon drives for a felony possession of controlled substance (PCS) offense, a deputy's arrest report said.

According to the report, Hernandez was located and stopped by law enforcement in reference to a suspicious person complaint.

Hernandez consented to a person search for weapons by the deputy, who discovered a marijuana pipe and a small baggie containing a white substance in the suspect's pocket.

The substance was suspected to be methamphetamine, and tested presumptive positive by field test.

Hernandez was originally booked on $2,500 for the felony PCS offense.

In other arrests:

— A 48 year-old Henderson man was arrested early Saturday morning at 12:53 a.m. in the 500 block of North Carson Street on misdemeanor first offense driving under the influence (DUI), a Carson City Sheriff's deputy said.

According to the report, the Southern Nevada man was taken into custody following a traffic stop of his vehicle. The man admitted to drinking three beers. An odor of alcohol could be smelled on his breath, the report said.

The suspect consented to field sobriety tests, which showed signs of impairment. He also consented to a preliminary breath test, which showed breath alcohol content of .140 percent.

He was placed in handcuffs at that point and transported to the Carson City Jail for booking. Bail: $1,000.

— A 47 year-old Carson City man was arrested Friday night at 7:30 p.m. in the 2700 block of North Carson Street an active misdemeanor first offense domestic battery warrant issued out of Sparks Municipal Court, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy said.

According to the report, a Sheriff's deputy had made contact with the suspect in the parking lot of a business. A records check of his driver's license with dispatch showed an outstanding arrest warrant out of Sparks.

The warrant was confirmed, and the suspect was taken into custody at that point. Bail: $3,000.
