CARSON CITY — Despite cool weather and Friday night's snow showers, hundreds of children and their parents turned out today for the seventh annual Cops and Kids Sheriff’s Open House safety, crime and substance abuse awareness fair held at the Carson City Sheriff's Office.

A female driver and passenger were unhurt when their grey Infinity jumped a curb and hit the side of IHOP on South Carson Street at about 4:30 this afternoon.
The car suffered some damage but there was no real structural damage to the building, according to those on scene.
Carson City Sheriff's Sgt. Mike Cullen said the driver and passenger were unhurt.
Witnesses Savannah Graeber and Shelby Brown said they heard a loud squeak sound as the car bounced up on the curb, hitting the building.

CARSON CITY — A 14-year-old Carson City girl who was taking a break from "The Sound of Music" rehearsals Thursday night at the Carson City Community Center, said she pushed away a man who "came out of nowhere" and jumped on top of her as stunned friends watched.

"I was kind of freaked out," the 14-year-old victim told Carson Now late Thursday night. "I just held my breath and pushed him off of me."

The unidentified man, who had led authorities on a car chase through town, was detained shortly after the attack by Carson City deputies. The incident began at about 8:30 p.m.

A man attempted to elude authorities tonight, driving his vehicle onto the lawn area of the Carson City Community Center, running through the building and then jumping on top of a 14-year-old girl before being detained by deputies.

The event happened at 8:32 p.m. when a justice court officer spotted the man driving erratically down Carson Street, nearly hitting a motorcyclist. The man was traveling at a high rate of speed and didn't stop, said Sgt. Mike Cullen.
