A Carson City man was arrested early Wednesday morning for suspicion of felony eluding after he fled a deputy on patrol with a speed of 100 mph and going the wrong way on Highway 50 East, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.
Matthew Shepley, 27, also faces misdemeanor charges of probation violation, no proof of insurance, driving on a revoked license and revoked and suspended registration.
According to the arrest report, at around 2:30 a.m. a deputy observed a vehicle driving on Highway 50 in a manner that endangered other drivers. The arrest report states the suspect traveled eastbound in the westbound lanes causing vehicles traveling west to pull to the shoulder of the roadway to prevent a head-on collision.
The man was located by Lyon County Sheriff’s Office deputies. He admitted to failing to yield and eluding.
During the course of the investigation, deputies learned the man did not have a valid license, and the vehicle he was driving had suspended registration and no proof of insurance. Bail: $24,150.
