Carson City sheriff's deputies make domestic battery, warrant arrests

A 29-year-old Carson City man was arrested Nov. 23 for suspicion of misdemeanor domestic battery, a sheriff's office booking report states.

According to the arrest report, deputies were dispatched to a residence for a domestic battery in progress. Deputies arrived and could hear a male and female arguing in a room. The male answered the door. Officers asked him to stop out of the room and talk, while another deputy would talk to the reporting party.

The female victim was visibly upset and shaking, the report states. The officer asked her what happened. The woman stated she had been gone for the last couple days due to the male fighting with her.

She said the man asked her to come back to the home because someone was supposed to serve them paperwork for their Child Protective Services case. The female said she was sitting in a chair in the corner of a room when the male told her to "get the f*** out," the report states. The woman said she got up and the man grabbed her by her sweatshirt and tried to drag her out of the room.

The woman said she tried to get the man off of her and might have hit him and was also telling him to stop. Once the man let go of her, she called 911 and locked herself in the bathroom. Officers observed fresh rug burns on both of her knees, consistent with being dragged across the carpet, the report states. She also had red marks and a scratch on her neck from being pulled by her sweatshirt, the report states. She declined medical attention.

After talking with the woman, an officer went outside to speak with the male. He was asked what happened. He said he told the woman to get out of the room. He told the officer he grabbed her by the sweatshirt and tried dragging her out of the room. He said she was trying to get him off of her and that she did not hit him, the report states.

After interviewing both parties, the officer arrested the male as the suspected primary aggressor. He was booked for domestic battery, a misdemeanor. Bail: $3,137.

— A 26-year-old Carson City woman was arrested Nov. 23 for a misdemeanor contempt of court warrant issued June 24, 2020 out of Carson City Justice Court. Bail: $1,000.

— A 20-year-old Carson City man was arrested earlier this month for misdemeanor suspicion of obstructing an officer via making a false statement.

According to the arrest report, which was refiled last week with new information, a deputy assigned to booking duties at the Carson City Jail received a call from a person stating he had checked on his brother's status online. He stated he noticed that his brother was using his name and information.

The deputy asked the man what his brother's name was and he stated a name and stated a name for himself. The officer asked the caller for their date of birth and social security number. The deputy verified through its web query system and located both parties.

The deputy advised the control deputy to send the man to the booking counter. Once he arrived, the deputy asked him his name. He provided his real name. The officer asked him why he used his brother's name when he first identified himself. The man stated he thought he had warrants and that he was drunk, the arrest report states.

The deputy checked the man for warrants and he was clear of any. The deputy advised him that he would receive a charge for using his brother's name. Bail: $412.

This report will be updated later in the day. 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. All subjects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The policy of Carson Now is to name anyone who is arrested for a felony offense.
