Carson City sheriff’s deputies were called to a Mayflower Way home late Thursday after a domestic disturbance call involving an intoxicated man who allegedly threw a bread maker at his girlfriend and kicked a roommate’s cat.
What made matters tense was the reporting witnesses told dispatch and officers that the man had guns in the home and they were concerned he would use them.
The incident began at 10:48 p.m. and ended after midnight when officers were able to get the two roommates out of the home. Deputies essentially defused the situation by not escalating a response, said Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong.
“Once we determined there was not an external threat, and the females were out of the home, we made a calculated risk and chose for him to sleep it off,” said Furlong.
In other police matters:
— A 45-year-old Carson City man and jail inmate faces a misdemeanor charge of damaging jail property after he allegedly tampered with a booking camera at the Carson City Jail. According to the arrest report, the man climbed on a door at the jail and removed the camera from the ceiling. He then hid the camera behind his back. The camera was recovered. Bail: $2,500.
All information for the crime log (unless otherwise noted) comes from the arrest reports supplied by the Carson City Sheriff's Office, and is considered by law to be public information.
