A 58-year-old man was arrested July 16 for suspicion of unlawful use of an emergency number, a gross misdemeanor offense, after reporting his vehicle stolen to Carson City 911 dispatch after it had been impounded by sheriff's deputies due to multiple traffic violations.

According to the booking report, the South Lake Tahoe man called 911 to report that his vehicle was being stolen by Carson City Sheriff's Office deputies.

At approximately 3:52 a.m. he was the only occupant in a vehicle that was stopped for traffic violations. The vehicle was impounded due to multiple traffic violations. The man was issued a citation and released from the scene. He then called 911 and told a dispatcher that his vehicle was being stolen and became irate with the dispatcher, according to the arrest report.

After the officer completed the impound, he searched the immediate area and located the man in the bushes in the 3000 block of North Carson Street. He was arrested for suspicion of unlawful use of an emergency number. Bail: $2,500.
