A man was arrested Sunday night for gross misdemeanor battery on a protected person after allegedly spitting on two deputies, according to a Carson City Sheriff’s Office booking report.

Deputies were called 9:32 p.m. to a North Edmonds residence for a welfare check after a reporting party stated they had water running into their apartment from the apartment upstairs.

Deputies arrived and knocked on the door of the apartment. A man, who was later identified as the suspect, answered the door. He was sweaty, his eyes were red and swollen (as if he had been crying) and there were tears running down his face, the report states. He also had a large cut on his right shin that was bleeding. His right sock was soaked in blood and there was blood all over the floor where he was standing. Deputies also saw pieces of broken glass on the floor of the apartment, along with towels and water.

A deputy asked if he needed medical attention. The man became angry and started to yell at the deputy. The deputy asked multiple times if he needed help. The man continued to yell at the deputy. Inside the apartment was another man that who the suspect said was his father. Based on the suspect’s angry behavior, the deputy asked the older man to step out of the father to step out of the apartment. The man tried to walk around the suspect multiple times but was blocked by the suspect, who paced back and forth while yelling at deputies. There was nothing in the report that indicated the man was injured.

The suspect had a strong odor of alcohol and slurred speech. After a couple minutes of the suspect yelling, he stepped back and took a fighting stance with the deputy. He was bladed off with his feet offset at an angle and was raising his arms and fist at the deputy. The report notes the suspect was around two feet behind the threshold of the doorway. Deputies were standing outside the threshold of the doorway on the common area along the walkway of the apartment. The man then said something and spit toward both deputies, hitting one of them in the face and one in the vest with spit.

Based on the suspect committing battery on protected persons (police officers), the suspect being covered in blood and sweat and the apartment floor being covered in water, blood, towels and broken pieces of glass and, not knowing if anyone else was in the apartment, a deputy took one step inside and sprayed the man with pepper spray, the report states.

The officer noted he used pepper spray because they did not want to get into a physical fight with the suspect as he was covered in blood, among the other listed reasons.

After spraying him with pepper spray, deputies gave the suspect verbal commands to exit the apartment, and told him that if he continued to resist he would get tased. The man continued to yell and not exit the apartment. Other deputies arrived along with the Watch Commander, the report states.

Officers made entry into the apartment and attempted to place the man in handcuffs. He continued to physically resist by pulling his arms under his body and not placing them on his back. He was placed into handcuffed and removed from the apartment to receive medical attention for the cut on his leg and the pepper spray. The man was combative with Carson City Fire Department and was placed in a spit hood due to him spitting at people. He was treated for his injuries on scene and taken to the hospital by CCFD.

At the hospital the man was loud, screaming and yelling and disrupting the emergency room. ER staff asked for the man to wait outside while they prepped a room for him. CCFD took him outside while still on a gurney. He was given medicine and taken for a CT scan. During the scan he stopped breathing. Hospital staff was able to start his breathing again and the scan was taken. Deputies left the man with hospital staff due to a possible medical condition the jail is not equipped to deal with, the report states.

The man was later medically cleared and taken to jail without incident. It was also learned he was in violation of Department of Alternative Sentencing conditions. Bail: $4,000 for battery and $3,000 cash for the DAS violation.
