A 44-year-old man was arrested Friday for a felony warrant, alleged possession of a controlled substance and five misdemeanor offenses, according to a Carson City Sheriff's Office booking report.
Daniel James Collins of Reno was taken into custody at 9:21 a.m. in the area of Stewart and Little Lane following a foot pursuit that began following a traffic stop.
According to the booking report a deputy observed a black two-door Mustang that didn't have a license plate on the front or rear of vehicle and did not have a temporary moving permit on the windshield. The deputy initiated a traffic stop, and observed the driver exit the vehicle and a female passenger exit the vehicle.
They were instructed to get back inside as they were not free to leave. Collins walked away ignoring the lawful order and then began to run through a parking lot. A foot pursuit ensued, along with the help of a Capitol Police chief who was at the scene.
The suspect ran approximately 530 yards into the field east of Little Lane, where he ultimately slipped on snow in an embankment that caused him to fall on his stomach, the report states. The Capitol Police chief straddled the man, to prevent him from getting up and running again. He was placed into cuffs and advised he was under arrest for obstructing. A deputy removed a blue pocket knife from his right pant pocket and seven 9mm rounds of ammunition from his right pant pocket, the report states.
Deputies ran his name through dispatch which returned that he had a priority 5 felony warrant for his arrest and that his license was suspended. Officers were also advised there was no registration or insurance on the vehicle the man was driving, according to the report.
During inventory of the vehicle, approximately 1 gram of methamphetamine, a methamphetamine pipe and individual clear plastic baggies were located inside a sunglass case located between the driver seat and the center console, which were directly in the man's reach and span of control. Later the man would admit that he had smoked methamphetamine on Dec. 1, the report states.
Carson City Sheriff's Office was advised by Nevada State Parole and Probation that one of the man's conditions was to not possess any weapons. Parole and Probation advised to place him on hold. He was booked for possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, suspended driver's license, no insurance, no registration and obstructing. He was held without bail in lieu of a hearing for the felony priority 5 warrant.
