On Tuesday, July 8 Carson City deputies arrested two men in the 3300 block of S. Carson Street after a fight was reported by multiple callers involving at least seven people and a gun.
According to the arrest report, deputies arrived around 10:30 p.m. and as they were approaching the building they could hear yelling from multiple people.
As they came around the corner, deputies said they observed several people walking up a staircase and yelling at each other.
Deputies announced themselves and asked them to come down. One male subject, later identified as a 39-year-old Carson City man, refused, and continuously asked “for what” and “the f*ck are you here for.”
Despite telling the group multiple times to come down, none of them did so, according to the report.
Deputies began going up the stairs to detain the 39-year-old, at which point a woman “backed up in front of [the man], with both of her arms spread out, as if she was trying to block [the deputy] from getting to him.”
The man refused to cooperate, yelling and cursing and telling deputies no while pulling away. The rest of the group began surrounding deputies, according to the report, “screaming and yelling at us to stop.”
The reporting deputy said he pulled out his taser and held it “as a show of force” while deputies attempted to get the man detained. The woman continued to yell at deputies and refused to move back, according to the arrest report, so she was also detained.
The two were escorted downstairs to patrol vehicles. Deputies asked the man’s name, and he stated “none ya.”
He was taken into custody for obstruction/resisting.
Deputies spoke with the woman who said the man had “gotten into an argument with some teens regarding religion.” She said the argument was verbal only and she’d been able to “break it up” before it got physical. She said she’d just gotten the man up the stairs when deputies arrived.
Deputies released the woman from the scene once she had calmed down.
The man refused a preliminary breath test, but was highly intoxicated, so he had to be taken to the hospital for clearance. According to the report, he continued to say things such as “you better call back up, you know my rap sheet, I fight cops,” and that he “hopes [deputies] get him on a day when he doesn’t care about his life.”
While at the hospital, deputies told the man to sit on the bed, at which point he attempted to slip the handcuffs underneath him and under his legs. Two deputies stepped in to get his hands back behind his back.
He was cleared and released to the Carson City jail without incident.
In a second arrest report, 24-year-old Antar Ahmir Twitty-Allen was also arrested during the investigation for carrying a concealed weapon by a prohibited person.
The second reporting deputy said he spoke with Twitty-Allen to find out what was going on. They said Twitty-Allen displayed “objective signs of alcohol intoxication,” but advised he did not need medical attention, and that it was his younger brother who’d been involved in the altercation.
They said they walked away while another deputy continued to speak with Twitty-Allen , at which point they observed a bulge beneath his shirt to the right of his ribs. They said when Twitty-Allen moved, his shirt did not move around a “straight solid L-shaped object,” and the reporting deputy stated they were afraid he was concealing a firearm.
The deputy said he reached across Twitty-Allen’s chest and placed an open hand on the object, which they “immediately recognized as a firearm.”
He was detained in handcuffs and the reporting deputy lifted his shirt, revealing a handgun inside a bandolier-style holster.
The deputy asked Twitty-Allen if he had a CCW, and he said he did not, and that he was “open carrying.”
He was taken to the hospital for medical clearance for his level of intoxication, where he was cleared. At the jail, the deputy reviewed his criminal history, and found that Twitty-Allen is a convicted felon, having plead guilty to a felony battery with a deadly weapon charge in 2021, which precludes him from owning a firearm.
He was booked on felony prohibited person possessing a firearm, and carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.
- Bail for the 39-year-old: $1,137
- Bail for Twitty-Allen: $17,637
