Fight involving two couples at Carson City casino results in three arrests
Three were arrested Friday after officers were dispatched to a north Carson Street casino for a fight involving two couples, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.
Tristan Ledford, 29, and Geoffrey Walker, 36, were each booked on felony parole and probation and misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges. A 33-year-old woman was also arrested for misdemeanor disorderly conduct. A fourth woman involved was not charged.
According to the arrest report, deputies were dispatched at 11 p.m. to a fight in progress at a casino in the 500 block of North Carson Street. Deputies arrived and confronted two individuals who were actively combative outside the casino. Both were detained. Other deputies went inside the casino to break up another fight.
The 33-year female suspect stated she went into the bathroom when another woman came in and started to fight. She stated the fight continued outside the bathroom, with both men, boyfriends of the women, began fighting with each other.
Casino security was unable to break up the fights on their own and Carson City Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to respond. All parties remained uncooperative even after the fights were broken up, according to the arrest report.
A deputy then spoke with Ledford who stated he was just trying to defend his girlfriend who he said was jumped by Walker and the 33-year-old female suspect.
The two couples were trespassed from the casino. Both Ledford and Walker had been drinking at the casino, a violation of terms of both of their probation conditions, according to the arrest report.
None of the four individuals wanted to pursuit charges against each other. Both Walker and Ledford were being held without bail in lieu of a hearing over probation violation charges. Bail for the 33-year-old female suspect: $242.
