— A 26-year-old Reno woman was arrested in the Carson City Jail for calling her wife 24 times despite a no contact order.
According to the arrest report, deputies were called to investigate a contempt of court violation by the District Attorney office’s victim-witness coordinator.
According to the coordinator, the inmate called the woman, who was listed as the victim in her case, several times while in custody.
Deputies spoke to the wife and asked if the inmate had been contacting her. She asked if she “needed to answer the question.” When asked about the no contact order, the woman said the inmate was trying to get the no contact order but that the public defender’s office had not returned the inmate’s calls. The woman said the inmate had not been threatening or dissuading her during the phone calls.
Deputies spoke with the inmate who said she’d been calling the woman, but insisted the no contact order had been listed and that she had paperwork to prove it in her cell. She was allowed to go to her cell to retrieve it but when she came back she said she must have thrown the documents away.
Deputies explained that they needed to go off of the most recent paperwork which states the no contact order is still in place. The woman told deputies to “do what they need to do” in regards to being add-booked for contempt.
Deputies told the inmate to stop calling her wife until the order had been lifted. She was add-booked for contempt of court.
Additional bail: $1,137
