A 57-year-old man was arrested for suspicion of DUI and evading following a low-speed pursuit with law enforcement Tuesday night, according to a Carson City Sheriff’s Office booking report.
At around 9:10 p.m. a deputy patrolling the area of Fall Street and along the east side of a North Carson Street casino, was flagged down by a couple in a vehicle who exited the casino parking lot. They advised there was an intoxicated man in a Suburban, parked along the east side exit of the casino. The deputy pulled into the parking lot and pulled behind the vehicle. As the deputy pulled behind it, the vehicle then went eastbound through the parking lot and onto Fall Street.
As the vehicle passed the vehicle occupied by the people who flagged down the deputy, the deputy asked them if that was the correct vehicle. They said it was. The suspect made an eastbound turn onto Robinson Street toward Stewart, the report states. As the vehicle entered the northbound turn lane, it crossed over the double yellow lines.
Based on the provided statements, and the vehicle leaving the parking lot of the casino that has multiple bars and serves alcohol, the time of day and the observed crossing the yellow line violation, the deputy attempted an enforcement stop for the listed violation and an investigative stop for possible DUI.
At the intersection of Washington and Stewart Street, the deputy activated their overhead red and blue emergency lights and siren. The driver did not yield but was following the rules of the road and was not traveling at a high rate of speed. The deputy followed the driver to the area of State Street and William Street, the report states.
The driver signaled to make a northbound turn onto State Street. As he turned onto State Street he accelerated. At this time it became apparent he was not going to yield and was actively attempting to evade. The deputy asked dispatch for the registered owner’s address. They advised it was in the 1700 block of Wendy Lane. Deputies responded to the area and located the driver of the Suburban in the parking lot of 1700 Wendy Lane.
The driver was walking away from the suspect vehicle and was detained. The man was walked to and then seated in the back of a patrol vehicle. He displayed objective signs of alcohol intoxicated, including red and watery eyes, slurred speech and smelled of the odor of alcoholic beverage, the report states.
The man refused to complete field sobriety tests and refused a preliminary breath test. He was taken to the hospital for medical clearance. He refused medical treatment, the report states.
A deputy responded to the casino and reviewed security footage of the incident. He advised the security footage showed the man leaving the casino and entering the suspect vehicle. Based upon the man’s refusal to provide evidence, SFSTs and preliminary breath tests, the deputy applied for a telephonic warrant for a blood draw. The warrant was granted by a Carson City judge. The man was booked for suspicion of DUI and evading. Bail: $1,137.
