Standoff with Carson City sheriff's deputies ends safely, man with warrant arrested
A standoff involving a man facing extradition for a parole absconder warrant out of Texas ended safely late Saturday night with the suspect taken into custody.
The incident happened at an apartment in the area of Airport Road and Menlo streets and ended with the man surrendering without force, according to Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong.
What led to the situation is the man was pulled over for speeding by the Nevada Highway Patrol in Washoe Valley the day prior. He then fled after stopping and a brief pursuit ensued. NHP was able to determine where the man lived and tracked him down to the residence on Menlo and Airport Road.
When law enforcement went to the residence, he refused to come out. The situation was deescalated as the man wasn't armed and wasn't making threats, said Furlong.
"He was facing prison and didn't want go to prison and wouldn't come out," said Sheriff Furlong. The situation ended at around 11 p.m.
