A 44-year-old woman was arrested Monday for suspicion of felony aggravated stalking and possession of a controlled substance, according to a Carson City Sheriff’s Office booking report.
Jennifer Marie Daugherty was taken into custody at 3:37 p.m. in the 3100 block of Stafford Way.
According to the booking report, deputies responded to a residence after a reporting party said they had a text message from the woman saying she was going to kill a female she knew. Both the suspect and the victim have had previous mental health contacts with law enforcement, according to the booking report.
A responding deputy arrived and found a vehicle occupied by the suspect. The officer called for backup. The vehicle was parked facing south along the curb for northbound traffic and appeared to be quickly parked as the rear of the vehicle was partially in traffic, the report states.
Due to the information received regarding a violent crime threat, with the assistance of additional deputies, officers conducted a high-risk stop on the vehicle and successfully detained the suspect as the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle.
A deputy spoke with the woman whom the threat was made against, who stated she was in fear for her life and thought the woman was going to kill her, the arrest report states.
The suspect was arrested for suspicion of felony aggravated stalking. During a vehicle inventory, a deputy located a sharpened paint scraper in the right front passenger seat, which, the deputy notes in the report, was easily accessible to the suspect. There were no other paint items inside the vehicle, which led the deputy to believe the suspect brought the paint scraper to use as a weapon. The scraper was booked into evidence.
The suspect was taken to Carson City Jail, where a detention deputy located a glass bottle on her person containing methamphetamine. The meth was also booked into evidence.
