— A 34-year-old transient woman was arrested in the 800 block of North Roop Street on 13 charges including grand theft auto, hit and run, eluding, and assault with a deadly weapon.

Nicole Lee Katz was arrested after deputies were dispatched to the Carson City Aquatics Center for a report of a stolen vehicle.

According to the report, the victim had arrived at the Aquatics center around 12:45 and placed her bag and car keys in a locker in the women’s locker room. At approximately 2 p.m. she noticed that her keys were missing and her car was gone.

While deputies spoke with the victim, a call came in that another law enforcement agent was attempting to stop a vehicle for cutting off other vehicles in the area of 50 and Silver State, which matched the description of the victim’s vehicle.

The vehicle fled the scene, and was pursued, but the vehicle was lost soon after in the area of Lompa Lane and Carmine.

Deputies were alerted to the vehicle in the area of Table Rock and North Ridge, after the vehicle went the wrong way in the roundabout and struck another vehicle before fleeing. Another pursuit began.

According to the report, the vehicle was disregarding traffic control devices and nearly causing additional crashes. At one point, the vehicle left the roadway and was traveling through open fields near Market Street.

The vehicle was ultimately located near a Mexican fast-food chain in the area of Market Street, and a female driver was seen leaving the area.

Katz was apprehended at the intersection of Roop and Hot Springs Road.

At the jail, Katz told deputies she wanted an attorney, and deputies could smell the odor of alcohol coming from her breath. She also appeared “amped up,” according to the report, and was making quick, exaggerated movements and was very quick to make comments or speak.

A silver box containing hypodermic needles with an unknown substance inside was located, along with a modified pen with a crystalline substance inside it.

A warrant was granted to draw Katz’s blood for testing.

Katz provided her identity to deputies, and dispatch printed a photo from the California DMV where Katz said she had a license. The photo did not look like Katz, and some of the physical descriptions did not match.

Katz advised she was born in Long Beach, Calif. The information for Katz out of the California DMV stated she was born in New York.

Katz’s fingerprints are being submitted for proper identification.

Katz also attempted to hit a motorcycle deputy during their pursuit, deputies later learned.
