A Carson City man with a lengthy criminal history including larceny and theft was arrested Monday on a felony burglary charge after allegedly walking out of Walmart without paying for a soda, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.
Jonathan Cote, 43, also faces a misdemeanor charge of failing to register as an ex-felon. According to the arrest report, officers were called to the Walmart store at 11:15 p.m. in the 3200 block of Market Street. Officers learned through a video that Cote had taken a bottle of Mountain Dew, valued at $1.68 out of a refrigerator and left the store without paying for it.
On Sept. 1, officers did a traffic stop on a vehicle with Cote in it. During the stop he was detained and read his Miranda rights in which he agreed to speak. Officers asked him where he was living, as dispatch had on record that he lived in the 4000 block of Village Drive, the arrest report states. The man gave that address.
The following day, officers went to the address Cote provided and learned the current tenant had been living at the residence for a year and a half. The tenant told the officer that Cote has never lived there while he was there and that he doesn’t know him. Bail: $20,242.

According to the arrest report, an officer driving eastbound on Highway 50 observed a black four-door Audi driving at a high rate of speed. Radar clocked the vehicle doing 64 in a 50 mph zone.
The officer initiated a traffic stop and activated his overhead lights. The vehicle swerved out of its lane while rounding a corner and stopped. Officers spoke with the driver, and passenger who said they didn’t speak English well. The man attempted to have his children speak on his behalf, and in the process, the man was providing two different names to the children, the arrest report states. He did not have paperwork and he didn’t know his address.
Given the circumstances, officers detained the man, who then began to speak in better English, the arrest report states.
