Carson City sheriff’s bookings: Man slams truck into three parked vehicles, jailed for second DUI

A 26-year-old Carson City man was arrested Sunday night on multiple misdemeanor charges including DUI second offense after allegedly crashing into three unoccupied vehicles, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.

According to the arrest report, deputies were dispatched to the 1500 block of Goldfield Avenue for an injury crash. Deputies arrived on scene and observed multiple vehicles with damage to them.

A deputy spoke with a man who stated he observed the incident. He said he saw the white truck driven by the suspect come around the corner off of Saliman onto Goldfield Avenue. He stated the man hit one of the parked vehicles in the 1500 block of Goldfield.

He said when the man hit the parked vehicle it got pushed into another parked vehicle. He stated the driver put his truck into reverse and hit the same truck into more vehicles. He stated the driver then tried to drive off but then got out of the vehicle and had to be helped because he could not stand up straight, the arrest report states.

Three vehicles were hit by the suspect’s vehicle causing damage to all vehicles.

A deputy went over to the man who was sitting on the tailgate of his truck. The officer asked where he was going and he told the deputy back to his house in the 500 block of Jeanell Drive.

While the man was talking the officer could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his breath. He had very slurred speech and red watery eyes. When the man stood up he nearly fell over and could not keep balance on his own.

The officer asked if he would participate in field sobriety tests and the man replied no. He was asked if he would provide a breath sample on a preliminary breath test and the man replied no. At that time he was placed in custody for suspicion of DUI.

He was taken to the hospital to be medically cleared due to his unknown alcohol level. Once he was cleared he was taken to jail for evidentiary testing. He still declined to do either a breath or blood test and so the deputy obtained a search warrant for a blood draw.

The deputy investigated the man’s criminal history and learned he was convicted of DUI in July 2016. He was booked on suspicion of second offense DUI, driving with no valid license, violation of a suspended sentence and violation of bail conditions. Bail: $6,692.
