Two 25-year-old Carson City residents, Adonay Lobos and Nicol Ramos, were arrested on three counts of felony child neglect/endangerment after deputies responded to a report that a toddler had been left inside a car while the father (Lobos) was inside a casino gambling.
According to the arrest report, deputies were dispatched to a casino in the 2800 block of S. Carson Street at 9:30 p.m., and while en route, dispatch advised the father of the child, Ramos, was becoming “verbally aggressive” with witnesses on scene. The reporting party said that it appeared Lobos was attempting to leave.
A short time later, dispatch advised Lobos had gone back into the casino and left his vehicle east from the casino on Sonoma Street, and that a toddler approximately two years of age was unattended in the front passenger seat.
Deputies arrived on scene and located the vehicle, which now had a female driver (Ramos), Lobos in the passenger seat, and three children all under the age of four in the back seats. The report noted that two of the children were wearing diapers, and the youngest was in a car seat but not buckled in.
The pair told deputies that one of them would go into the casino to “gamble and drink,” then take turns with the other parent watching the children, so one parent would be with the children at all times.
However, deputies noted that due to the age of the vehicle, for it to be left on, the keys would have had to be left in the ignition, which also would allow the vehicle to be placed into drive.
However, witnesses on scene, including staff members from the casino, stated that both parents had been seen inside the casino together for at least 45 minutes while the children were in the vehicle unsupervised with the car turned on. They also stated that the children were unsecured and could move up from the rear seats to the front seats.
At one point, according to the witnesses, Lobos had come out to the vehicle to place sunshades up to conceal the children inside.
A witness stated they confronted Lobos about leaving the children inside the vehicle alone and told him they were going to call the police. Once Lobos was confronted, he became verbally aggressive. He went out to the vehicle and left the parking lot going eastbound on Sonoma only to stop down the road, get back out — leaving the toddlers in the vehicle once again with the vehicle turned on in the street — to go back into the casino.
A staff member advised this was the second time Lobos had left his children in the vehicle while he was in the casino gambling. They said they’d attempted to confront him the last time, but Lobos allegedly “left the casino at a high rate of speed” before the staff member could get their plate number.
The ages of the children were determined to be four, two, and one.
After speaking with witnesses, deputies asked the parents if they could get family to pick up the vehicle and the children, and Ramos said she was able to contact family and they would come to take the children.
Deputies took both parents into custody, and the children and vehicle were released to Ramos’s family members. While at the jail, the reporting deputy stated that Ramos made a “spontaneous utterance” stating she knew she’d made a mistake and “won’t fight it.”
Bail for Lobos: $60,000
Bail for Ramos: $60,000
Carson City man arrested for slapping victim after argument over him ‘abusing the system’
— A 62-year-old Carson City man was arrested Thursday evening in the 700 block of W. Fifth Street for domestic battery after deputies were dispatched on report of two individuals in a verbal dispute.
Upon arrival, deputies spoke with the man and the victim. The victim told deputies that the man had slapped them after an argument, and deputies noted they had redness on their left cheek.
They said the argument had been over the man refusing to work and “abusing the system.” They said while they were vacuuming, the man slapped them in the face.
At that point, the man called the police after going to his room; the victim said they told him if he didn’t, they would.
Deputies spoke with the man, who was “unable to provide [deputies] a story that matched” the victim’s. He was able to provide deputies with his day in detail, but when it came to the argument and everything that happened from then until he called 911, he “did not remember what happened.”
He told deputies he did not hit the victim, but based on the accusation and the redness on the side of the victim’s face, and the details of their story “lining up with the placement of the scene,” deputies took the man into custody for domestic battery.
He was taken to the jail without incident.
Bail: $3,137
