Carson City arrests: Man jailed after punching deputy
A 26-year-old Carson City man was arrested early Thursday morning at the Carson City Community Center for suspicion of battery on a protected person and resisting a police officer with violence, both gross misdemeanor offenses.
According to the arrest report, a deputy was on patrol in the area of John and Stewart streets and observed the suspect and a female in an alley behind closed business at around 1:35 a.m.
As the deputy approached the pair, the man threw a bag over a nearby fence and placed an item on top of a power box, attempting to conceal possible evidence. The man began to walk away, placing his hands in his pockets.
The deputy instructed the man and woman to sit on the curb. Another deputy was called to the scene. The officer then gave instructions for the man to stand up and place his hands on his head for a pat down search for weapons. The man initially complied but then attempted to run, the arrest report states.
The deputy grabbed the back of his t-shirt, where the man turn toward the deputy instead of fleeing, balling up his fist and taking a swing at the officer’s head, missing him. The officer made contact with the suspect, and the suspect then punched the deputy in the jaw, the report states.
The suspect then ran eastbound behind the Bank of America building and crossed the street south toward the library. Deputies located the man in the front lawn of the community center and tackled him to the ground. The man kicked at deputies, and refused commands. He was tasered and taken into custody at 1:41 a.m.
The deputy sustained injuries to the face, and abrasions to his elbow, knee and toes. The suspect faces the gross misdemeanor battery charges and a misdemeanor charge of crossing outside of a crosswalk. Bail: $5,072.
