A 66-year-old man was arrested Monday for suspicion of misdemeanor DUI, according to a Carson City Sheriff’s Office booking report.
At around 3:25 p.m. Carson City sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the 2200 block of East William Street for a report of a possible intoxicated driver. Dispatch advised a casino employee reported the man entering the casino and appeared to be very intoxicated and then was informed the man had left the location. Deputies got a description of the vehicle and observed the pickup exit the parking lot onto William Street.
The deputy followed the vehicle as it turned left and began traveling south on Saliman Road. The deputy observed the front passenger and rear tires were over the broken lane line and remained in the number two lane as the vehicle traveled south, the report states.
The deputy activated their overhead lights near the entrance of Carson High School to signal for the driver to pull to the shoulder onto Seely Loop. The driver continued traveling south passing Seely and continued to the intersection of East Robinson Street and North Saliman Road.
At this time another deputy arrived to assist the the traffic stop and the patrol car siren was activated to alert the driver that he was signaling for him to pull over.
