Carson City Sheriff's arrest log: Couple's scuffle leads to battery arrest

A 37 year-old Carson City man was arrested Saturday morning at 5:27 a.m. in the 7400 block of U.S. Highway 50 East for misdemeanor domestic battery, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy reported.

According to the report, law enforcement was dispatched to the area on a domestic dispute call. Upon arrival, the responding Sheriff's deputy could hear loud screams coming from a female at the residence.

A female was discovered sitting in the driver's seat of an SUV while a male subject was yelling at her from outside of the vehicle, the report said.

The deputy announced himself and directed the male subject to show his hands. He complied, and was detained in handcuffs for safety.

Both subjects were identified and queried. Per their accounts, the couple had attended a strip club together the night before and the male had been drinking. The female had left early for home and the male later called her for a ride.

When the female arrived to pick up the male, he was no longer at the location. He had apparently gotten a ride home from somebody else. This, and his level of intoxication, had upset the female and an argument ensued upon her return home.

The male reportedly became aggressive, grabbing the female by the neck and pinning her against the wall. She was able to break free after striking the male in the forehead with her phone, the report said.

But as she attempted to flee, the male grabbed her by the back of the shirt and tore it off, causing the female to fall to the ground. The male then grabbed the female again by the back of the neck and pulled on her hair, the report said.

At some point while yelling at the female, the male suspect then kicked her in the buttocks. She was able to finally flee outside of the house and barricaded herself in a vehicle, where she dialed 9-1-1.

The female was observed to have marks on the left side of her neck. The male had marks on his forehead and left shoulder. He appeared highly intoxicated to the officer and was not fully cooperative.

The male suspect was determined to be the primary aggressor in the incident and was taken into custody. He was transported to the Carson City Jail for booking. Bail: $3,000.
