Carson City deputies arrest man for warrants, providing false ID
Here is another possible example of where the coverup garners more trouble than the crime.
Deputies went looking for Joshua Stephens, 27, on Saturday night because of three outstanding misdemeanor warrants. According to the arrest report, they saw Stephens leave a residence in a green Honda and pulled him over at the corner of North Carson Street and Winnie Lane for using the wrong turn signal.
Stephens allegedly provided a drivers license for someone named John Thomas Sherfey, of Thousand Oaks, California. A deputy then informed Stephens that they knew who he really was and about his outstanding warrants.
Stephens was arrested for providing a false ID to avoid prosecution, a felony, as well as the three misdemeanor warrants and failure to use the proper turn signal. Bail was set at $36,075.
