Man jailed for felony eluding after pursuit with Carson City sheriff’s deputy
A Carson City man with a misdemeanor warrant who fled from an officer early Tuesday morning during a vehicle pursuit now faces a felony eluding charge, a sheriff’s deputy said.
Ty Erick Weaver, 43, was arrested at 2:09 a.m. for suspicion of felony eluding and a misdemeanor warrant for violation of pre-trial supervision, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.
According to the arrest report, a deputy conducting an area check of Carson River Park observed a vehicle with fogged windows parked on the boat ramp at around 12:50 a.m.
When the deputy, unable to determine how many people were in the vehicle, moved to look inside, the white Nissan Xterra backed up the boat ramp toward the patrol vehicle, then went forward nearly going into the river and then moved toward the patrol vehicle, nearly striking it.
The vehicle then took off and began eluding the officer who had, by this time, activated his lights and siren. The driver of the vehicle failed to stop at stop signs and moved through several residential streets with speeds of 40 mph to 80 mph, the arrest report states.
The vehicle then went westbound on East Fifth and then north on Fairview with speeds approaching 80 mph. Due to safety concerns, the watch commander ordered the pursuit terminated, the arrest report states.
The deputy learned the vehicle was registered to an address on West Sutro Terrace. Deputies went to the address and observed Weaver pull into the driveway and took off running inside the residence.
A female in the vehicle was detained and questioned. She said the two were at the river park getting intimate. She said Weaver panicked when the patrol car rolled up and that’s when he fled from police.
The woman completed a statement of the incident and was not charged. Weaver surrendered without incident. He was booked for suspicion of felony eluding and the outstanding arrest warrant. Bail: $23,000.
