Carson City sheriff’s log: Deputies make multiple weekend felony, misdemeanor arrests

A 45-year-old man was arrested Sunday for felony suspicion of giving false identification to avoid prosecution and being a sex offender failing to register, among other charges, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.

Christopher Randall Shaw of Reno booked at 10:42 a.m. following a traffic stop. He also had a contempt court warrant and was driving on a revoked license, both misdemeanors.

According to the arrest report the man did not have a driver’s license and identified himself with another name. The name he provided showed two outstanding arrest warrants. Shaw later advised he provided the officer with his brother’s information and then gave his real name. A records check returned with a confirmed warrant out of Fallon Municipal Court. He also had a failed sex offender registration status. Bail: $16,237.

In other arrests:
— A 32-year-old Carson City man, Timothy Lee Ray, was arrested Sunday, 7:25 p.m. in the 1400 block of Goldfield Avenue for felony suspicion of possession of a controlled substance, misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia and domestic battery.
According to the arrest report, deputies were called to the 400 block of Saliman Road for a report of domestic battery.

A deputy spoke with the victim who said she and the man got into an argument over him using drugs. The victim said the man punched her in the arm while she was driving past the sheriff’s office, according to the arrest report. She said the man pulled the steering wheel to the left and stomped on her foot to push the accelerator pedal so that she could not stop at the sheriff’s office.

Ray was found in the 1400 block of Goldfield Avenue where dispatch had received reports of a man attempting to break into a vehicle. He was detained and placed into a patrol car while the officer spoke with the reporting parties who called to report the vehicle burglary.

While searching the man, the arresting deputy located a clear plastic baggie with methamphetamine in his right front pocket and two white metal spoons with methamphetamine residue on them in the man’s backpack.

It was later determined that Ray was not trying to break into a vehicle but accidentally attempted to get into the wrong vehicle, the arrest report states. Bail: $6,774.
