Man jailed for stalking, violating restraining order

A 52-year-old Carson City man faces a gross misdemeanor charge of violating a restraining order after a complaint from a woman concerned about her 14-year-old daughter whom the man had made frequent attempts at contacting, authorities report.

The man was arrested at his home in the the 4700 block of South Carson Street Dec. 17 at 8:06 p.m. According to the arrest report, the woman said the man had been making her daughter feel uncomfortable and that he had earlier in the day knocked on the door of the residence to give the girl some candy and to say "no hard feelings." The mother said she was alarmed by the behavior and called authorities.

Authorities advised the mother that the man had a warrant for violating a restraining order and it has been alleged that he violated other restraining orders in the past.

Officers responded to the man's home where on many occasions they had been to after women and juveniles had accused the man of harassing them and causing disturbances at local businesses, according to the arrest report.

Officers arrived at the man's home and asked him to exit the residence, where the man covered the window to hide, according to the arrest report. The front door of the apartment was unlocked and the officer pushed it open and saw the man standing in the hallway. The man walked back into a bedroom and the officer ordered the man to exit the apartment, which he then cooperated. The man was detained on the sidewalk in front of the apartment.

Once at jail the man was helped out of the vehicle where officers noticed a small clear plastic Ziplock bag found on the seat where the man had been sitting. The officer asked what the item in the bag was and the man told the officer it was a $6 million diamond that he and his brother had found in a wrecked limousine 10 years prior. He told the officer the diamond was half his and half his brother's, according to the arrest report.

The officer unfolded the bag and viewed the item which was pear cut and pink in color and light in weight. The man was asked if the item was costume jewelry for which the man said it was real and that he usually hides it in his cell phone holder on his belt, the arrest report states.

The man was brought into the jail where he said he needed his oxygen. Officers asked how long it had been since he was last on oxygen and the man said it had been several weeks but that he was supposed to be on it all the time. He said he felt short of breath and that he had been off his medication for some time. He was asked why he had not been taking his medication and the man told the officer that he felt fine without it, the arrest report states.

The man also told officers that he hears voices in his head who tell him to do things, including delivering his sperm to the Sheriff's Office so he could be a part of the system, the arrest report states.

During the intake search by jail staff the man said he was not feeling well and made a slow crumple to the floor while still handcuffed. He stood up with the help of jail staff. Officers asked several questions about family and photos found in the man's wallet in which the man seemed fully functional and coherent, the arrest report states. He walked into the jail under his own power, changed out and walked into a holding cell unassisted and without incident, the report states. The alleged $6 million diamond was booked into evidence for safekeeping and until which time he could claim it, the report states. Bail: $3,000.
