The victim advised the Kohl's credit card was used at the Carson City store Sept. 20. The store's loss prevention supplied video surveillance of a male and female suspect using the credit card, the report states.

The couple were observed by deputies arriving at the residence in the Pontiac on the afternoon of Sept. 23. The vehicle was observed parked. Officers observed the man at the residence on Sept. 25.

Summer Jacobs told the detective she had met Aaron through social media and was involved in an intimate relationship with him. She stated the two had been staying, steadily at her residence for the past couple weeks.

A detective completed an impound of the Pontiac. In the trunk there was a large Dewalt tool box with numerous power tools, drills, sanders and hand tools. The detective showed the victim photos of the tools and he identified several of the power tools and hand tools that belonged to him, the report states.

A detective found several rings in a makeup case on the passenger floorboard. Deputies showed the victims photos of the rings, which were confirmed to be the victim's jewelry. The detective also located a methamphetamine pipe in the makeup case. Jacobs would later admit to ownership of the makeup case and knew the rings were in the makeup case, the arrest report states.
