A 53-year-old Carson City man was arrested in the 100 block of Telegraph Street early Wednesday morning for possession of a controlled substance and paraphernalia.
Deputies responded to the area at around 3:20 a.m. on report of a suspicious subject. A caller stated there was someone who knocked over all the trash cans. They said they didn’t see the person, but there was a dog and a cart near the bins.
When deputies arrived they found several trash cans knocked over and trash all over the roadway. There was a cart next to the trash cans filled with bags and clothing.
There was a dog laying on the ground with “its eyes rolled back and vomit on the ground near its mouth.” Deputies attempted to locate the owner but could not find them, and called for animal control to take possession of the dog.
Deputies searched the area and found a pill bottle with the man’s name on it.
A little while later, deputies received another call down the street on E. Telegraph stating that there was a man wearing only underwear asking them for clothes. Another deputy responded, and told the reporting deputy it was the owner of the pill bottle.
The reporting deputy went to speak to the man and found he was wearing a bikini. He told deputies he was “getting harassed by other people so he was hiding.”
He gave deputies permission to search his belongings and asked for his backpack and blue bag, and another deputy advised she found a used needle with methamphetamine residue on the outside and inside of the needle inside the blue bag.
The reporting deputy took possession of the needle and brought the bag back to the man and asked him if it was the correct bag, and he said yes.
Deputies arrested the man for possession of methamphetamine and paraphernalia. He asked to put more clothing on, and deputies grabbed his bag of clothes.
Inside, they found a large hunting knife which was collected and booked into evidence for safekeeping. They found a pair of jean shorts laying near the bag and gave it to the man. It had a wallet with the man’s cards inside, along with a clear plastic baggie with a small amount of presumed methamphetamine inside.
Deputies asked the man if the wallet belonged to him, and he said yes, and asked if the shorts were his, and he said no. They asked why his wallet would be inside the shorts if they didn’t belong to him, and he said “because he wears them.”
He denied the baggie was his. Deputies took the baggie, the knife, and the needle into evidence, and he was transported to the jail without incident.

Man arrested for domestic battery, preventing a victim from calling 911 after refusing to let woman with infant leave
A 30-year-old Carson City man was arrested for domestic battery and felony prevention of a victim from reporting a crime.
According to the arrest report, Sebastian Flores Salinas was arrested Wednesday around 4 p.m. in the 400 block of S. Saliman Road after dispatch advised they had an open 911 call in which yelling and crying could be heard in the background.
Dispatch advised they could hear a woman and a baby crying during the call.
Upon arrival, deputies spoke with Flores Salinas and a woman who were leaving the residence, and the woman was carrying an infant.
Deputies separated the parties and explained the reason they were there to Flores Salinas and asked what happened.
Flores Salinas said he and the woman had gotten into an argument when she attempted to leave the residence with the infant. He told her she could leave but not with the baby.
Deputies asked if it became physical and he said no, but then said that the woman had tried to get past him, but he blocked her from leaving and grabbed her upper arm to stop her.
When the reporting deputy went to go and speak with the woman, Flores Salinas handed them a cellphone that belonged to the woman.
Deputies spoke with the woman who was upset and crying and asked what happened. She told deputies that she’d caught Flores Salinas “liking other women’s pictures on social media and confronted him about it” according to the arrest report.
She said she confronted him about it and they began arguing. She said he became verbally aggressive and turned it around on her, saying she was “always angry and that was the problem.”
She told deputies that when she attempted to leave the residence with the baby, Flores Salinas would not allow her to leave. She said that she tried to get up from the couch with the baby several times, but he would push her back down onto the couch.
She said Flores Salinas attempted to take the baby from her but she did not let him, and that he covered her mouth with his hand to prevent her from yelling.
Deputies asked what she was trying to yell, and she said she was trying to yell for help because Flores Salinas had taken her cellphone so she could not call the police.
Deputies spoke with Flores Salinas again and asked if he’d pushed her down on the couch while she was trying to get up with the baby, and he said he didn’t push her but “held her on the couch” to prevent her from leaving with the baby. He admitted to covering her mouth, and he said it was to “prevent her yelling near the baby’s ear.”
Deputies asked him if he took her cellphone, and he admitted that he did, adding that “he pays for it.”
After he was placed in custody, he told deputies that he’d taken the cellphone because she was attempting to call the police, and he wanted to handle the incident without law enforcement involvement according to the report.

Man arrested for damaging family member’s car following argument
A 28-year-old Carson City man was arrested Thursday for the gross misdemeanor crime of destroying or injuring the property of another after allegedly damaging a family member’s car with a rock.
According to the arrest report, Cody Michael John Boling was arrested in the 1400 block of Stanford Drive after a family member of Boling reported that Boling had damaged their vehicle with a rock, causing approximately $2,000 in damages.
Dispatch also advised that he was intoxicated when he caused the damage.
Deputies spoke with the family member who stated that on Saturday at around 6 p.m. Boling came to their residence “visibly angry and intoxicated.”
They said Boling was upset because he’d gotten into a fight with someone. The family member told Boling they did not approve of his behavior, “which upset him further.”
Boling then left the residence on his bicycle, “angry and swearing at [them].”
Then on Wednesday at around 4 p.m., the family member went outside and noticed a large deep scratch on the right rear passenger side of their vehicle, “deep enough to expose bare metal.”
They went to their neighbor’s house, who has cameras facing their property, and asked to view the footage.
In the footage they said they watched Boling leaving their residence on his bike, stop behind the car, pick up a rock, and drag it across the right side of their vehicle. The video was provided to deputies.
Deputies asked the family member how much it would cost to repair, and they said it would be approximately $2,000. Deputies took photos of the damage and uploaded them as evidence.
Deputies went to speak with Boling, who said he “did not remember doing that,” when deputies told him they were there to discuss the vehicle damage. He said he went to the family member’s residence, “but they did not agree and [he] left.”
Deputies told Boling they had footage of the incident, and Boling said he had no memory of it because he’d been drinking that day.
When deputies told him the family member had identified him in the video, Boling said, “I get that.”
Boling was taken into custody. While he was being searched prior to arrest, another resident of the home called the family member on the phone and asked if they had video of Boling scratching their vehicle.
Deputies reported that Boling “spontaneously uttered” that the family member could have called him, they could have worked it out, adding “I messed up.”
He was transferred to the Carson City Jail without incident.
Bail: $2,500
