Carson City Sheriff's arrest log: Man arrested after driving on sidewalk

A 46 year-old male transient was arrested at 5:44 p.m. Thursday evening in the area of West Fifth and South Nevada streets on multiple misdemeanor violations, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy said, including driving his motor home on a sidewalk.

According to the arrest report, law enforcement made a traffic stop after it had observed an older motor home run through the four-way stop intersection at Division and West Fifth streets, making no attempt to stop and nearly striking another vehicle that had the right-of-way.

As the deputy attempted to pull the vehicle over, the driver of the motor home struck curbs and drove partially up on the sidewalk before coming to a stop, the report said.

The male driver told the deputy that the brakes in his motor home were out. He also admitted to knowing the brakes had been out on the vehicle, the report said, but he drove the vehicle anyway.

When the deputy advised that the motor home could no longer be operated on the road and had to be impounded for being unsafe, both the male driver and a female passenger became very upset, the report said. The man screamed profanities at the deputy, the report said, and became increasingly irate despite efforts by the deputy to calm him down.

The male driver then attempted to exit the motor home multiple times, the report said, ignoring the deputy's requests for him to remain seated in the vehicle. The man was warned that continued aggressive behavior would result in detainment, but his behavior persisted. He was eventually handcuffed by the Sheriff's deputy and placed in the patrol cruiser, the arrest report said.

A records check of the man showed five total failure to appear arrest warrants, the most recent out of Clark County. He was then transported to the Carson City Jail for booking. Bail: $100.
