A 37-year-old transient man was arrested at Mills Park Wednesday after allegedly threatening a park user for drumming on a park bench.
According to the arrest report, a 77-year-old man was drumming on a park bench to help relieve tremors he was having in his hands. He said he had only been there for a moment when the transient man who was parked nearby began screaming at him to stop drumming.
He said the man then “became irate out of nowhere,” exited his car and approached “in an aggressive manner.”
He said the man threatened to take his drumsticks away and “shove them down his throat,” along with other profanities.
A woman nearby observed the situation and tried to tell the man to calm down, but he began screaming at her as well so she left, according to the report.
Deputies said the man was shaken up but relieved the situation did not turn physical before law enforcement arrived.
Deputies spoke with the man who they described as “easily excited,” who “gets angry very quickly and rants about various topics.”
They said he appeared pale with reddish eyes, was clearly living in his car and smelled as if he had not been bathing. They were concerned he was in a mental health crisis with untreated conditions.
Deputies took the man into custody for disturbing the peace. The man’s car was also unregistered, and was towed. The man asked for the items to be left inside the car instead of being taken into evidence, as he was ‘going to pay bail and collect the car as soon as possible.”
Bail: $1,137
— 46-year-old Cesar Armando Alvarado and 77-year-old Tiofilo Ibarra, both of Carson City, were arrested in the 4600 block of Goni for grand larceny, a felony charge, and Armando was additionally arrested for possessing fictitious registration.
According to the arrest report, deputies responded to a property on Goni in response to a possible commercial burglary in progress. A witness reported two male suspects loading a flatbed trailer with aluminum siding from a construction site.
Deputies arrived on scene and made contact with Alvarado and Ibarra who were still loading the trailer. They said Alvarado was “very sweaty and appeared to have been working quickly, or was nervous.”
He told deputies he was being paid by someone on Facebook to pick up the siding and deliver it to an address in Dayton. However, deputies told him that they did not believe his story, and he admitted to stealing the siding to build himself a shed.
Deputies said he apologized several times for what he was doing.
Ibarra told deputies he was friends with Alvarado, who was paying him for help in removing the siding.
The property owner was contacted who said there is approximately $900,000 worth of prefabricated building material on the lot, and he estimated over $100,000 of it to be missing.
However, deputies wrote in the arrest report, it is unknown if Alvarado and Ibarra were solely responsible for the entire theft amount.
The property owner said he would inventory what’s left on the lot and breakdown the cost of the material to provide an accurate estimate.
Bail for Alvarado: $25,112
Bail for Ibarra: $25,000
