A 48-year-old Carson City man was arrested for suspicion of burglary and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person Thursday evening.
According to the report, Special Enforcement Team deputies received information regarding a convicted felon, Christopher Landry, possessing and pawning a 12-gauge Mossberg shotgun.
According to the report, the man had gone back to the pawn shop to repurchase the shotgun, but was advised his application had been denied, the report states.
Deputies went to the pawn shop and received documents and files including a copy of the man's driver’s license, a photo of Landry on the pawn receipt, and video of him pawning the shotgun, the report states.
Deputies located the man at his residence and spoke with him, where he admitted to pawning a shotgun that he had purchased from a friend the year before.
Deputies asked if he had any other firearms in the residence, and Landry stated he had a Ruger handgun in his bedroom. He stated he had purchased it from a friend 7 months before.
He was taken into custody without issue.
Bail: $20,000.
— A 43-year-old Carson City man was arrested for a court order violation after allegedly calling his ex-girlfriend from jail multiple times despite a temporary protection order being in place.
According to the report, deputies were dispatched to the Carson City Sheriff’s Office in regards to a court order violation.
Deputies met with the ex-girlfriend who said she was granted a temporary protection order (TPO) against her ex-boyfriend, which was served on May 1 at the Carson City Jail, where the man was currently in custody.
She stated that she had received numerous phone-calls from the jail and assumed they were from the man, though she did not answer any of them. However, she said she later received information from her friend that the man had contacted the friend asking her to speak to the ex-girlfriend on his behalf.
Deputies located the calls made from the man on a recorded line, where he is clearly heard telling the friend “Talk to her for me, I don’t wanna lose her” and “tell her I love her.”
Deputies spoke to the inmate who said he never called anyone and never told the friend to talk to her.
He was arrested for the violations and add-booked at the jail.
Bail: $1,137
