Carson City Sheriff: Report of homicide at Pinebrook residence determined to be a hoax
A call to the Carson City Sheriff's Office dispatch early Tuesday morning regarding a possible homicide on Pinebrook Drive turned out to be unfounded and a hoax, said Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong.
At around 12:45 a.m. dispatch received a phone call regarding a homicide at a Pinebrook Drive residence. Carson City Sheriff's Office deputies responded. Officers breached the door and learned the phone call to dispatch that alerted them to the residence and the occupants was a hoax call, said Sheriff Furlong. CCSO further learned that Douglas County dispatch had received a similar call.
