Carson City Sheriff's deputies arrested a 57-year-old Carson City resident on two counts of assault with a deadly weapon.
Richard Erb was arrested on Oct. 5 after swinging an aluminum baseball bat at his daughter and a vehicle.
According to the arrest report, deputies spoke to the mother of one of Erb’s daughter’s friends. The friend had received a call from Erb’s daughter saying she did not feel safe in her house. When the mother had arrived at the house, Erb came out swinging a baseball bat at the driver’s side door, leaving scratches on it before she reversed and drove away with Erb’s daughter and her own daughter inside.
Erb’s daughter did not want to go home and requested that her dad not know she called the cops.
When deputies went to the site, Erb was outside smoking a cigarette on the porch. Once arrested, Erb took a preliminary breath test and blew a .219.
Erb was booked into the Carson City jail without incident.
Bail: $40,000
