Carson City sheriff’s deputies make drug and DUI arrests

A 56-year-old Carson City man was arrested Tuesday for misdemeanor suspicion of driving under the influence after a deputy made a traffic stop because the vehicle did not have working tail lights, a sheriff’s deputy said.

According to the arrest report, at 11:36 p.m. a deputy observed a Subaru sedan without tail lights pull out of a parking lot, then pulled into another parking lot and then onto Woodside Drive.

The deputy activated his red and blue lights signaling a traffic stop. The vehicle continued on Woodside, with the front seat passenger looking toward the rear.

It appeared as though the vehicle was attempting to get away and accelerated, pulling into a driveway in the 3100 block of Woodside Drive, the arrest report states.

Once the vehicle stopped, both the driver and the passenger doors opened and the passenger exited from the vehicle quickly. Due to both men attempting to exit the vehicle, the officer drew his firearm and ordered both subjects to stay in the vehicle. CCSO backup officers arrived and both the driver and passenger were detained, the report states.

The arresting deputy made contact with the driver and read him his Miranda warning. The man, who had a heavy odor of alcohol on his breath, stated he had been drinking and was probably too drunk to pass any test or blood test, the arrest report states.

He told the officer he was willing to do a horizontal gaze test but was physically unable to do the other tests due to medical issues with his hip and back. He showed objective signs of being impaired on the horizontal gaze test, according to the report. He provided a preliminary breath test of .124 and was taken into custody. At jail he voluntarily and freely submitted to breath test results of .139 and .140. Bail: $1,209.
