Patrick David Wilson (37) was arrested early Friday morning on multiple felony counts relating to assault with a deadly weapon, firearm and drug charges after allegedly shooting his AR-15 inside and through his RV, crashing into a neighbor’s car. He said he came home after allegedly being chased by 3-4 men, leading to him hiding in a bush.

According to the arrest report, deputies were dispatched to a suspicious circumstances call at an RV resort in the 5400 block of S. Carson Street.

Dispatch received a call at around 12:45 a.m. stating a man who “may have an AR-15 in the trailer” was yelling and standing outside his RV, and a white pickup truck had its lights on outside the RV.

As the reporting deputy was staging south of the entrance while awaiting additional units, dispatch advised another call had come in stating several gunshots were heard coming from the same location.

Deputies split into two teams and entered the RV park from opposite directions.

A man wearing a bathrobe was seen coming from the area east of the white pickup truck. Deputies gave commands to the man and after patting him down, determined he was not their suspect. While the man was giving deputies the location of the RV belonging to his neighbor, later identified as Wilson, the reporting deputy stated they heard a loud gunshot they identified as coming from a rifle.

A sergeant on scene advised the man had just shot at him from or under the RV.

Deputies retreated from the suspect’s RV. The reporting deputy retreated and “provided lethal coverage with my rifle.” Editor’s note: While this statement was made several times, it does not appear to mean that deputies fired their weapons.

A short time later, deputies observed Wilson moving around the RV space and walking towards the white truck parked in front. The reporting deputy said they saw he held a flashlight in his hands, but no weapon.

Wilson complied with deputies’ verbal commands and was placed in handcuffs. He told deputies he was “looking for his girlfriend, and the last time he had seen her was by the bed.”

Wilson was Mirandized, and the reporting deputy asked if he could speak with him. Wilson said yes, but advised he was only going to speak the “facts,” according to the report.

According to the report, Wilson said he’d been riding his electric motorcycle in the area of Voltaire Canyon and S. Curry when 3-4 men made statements toward Wilson accusing him of robbing them. He said the men attempted to chase Wilson, and in the area of W. Clearview and S. Curry St., Wilson “hid in a bush” for roughly 25 minutes.

He said when he “exited the bush,” the men were able to locate him again and followed him to his residence at the RV park.

He said he retrieved his AR-15 from the residence and fired approximately three shots — two into the floor and one approximately 6 inches from the floor toward the front door of the RV.

He said at some point he had also crashed his truck into one of his neighbor’s vehicles.

The reporting deputy stated that they could smell an alcoholic beverage emanating from Wilson, and that he appeared “extremely sweaty.” The deputy said they provided water to Wilson per his request and out of concern for his well-being, according to the report.

The reporting deputy spoke with the sergeant on scene who said when they were approaching the RV they witnessed the front door of the RV opening and closing several times. He then heard a gunshot and observed a muzzle flash coming from the area, and heard a bullet go past him at his position.

Later, when another deputy executed a warrant to search the RV, they reported finding a bag of suspected cocaine above the microwave inside.

Wilson was booked on:

  • Felony discharge of a firearm from or within a structure or vehicle within a prohibited area
  • Gross misdemeanor discharge of a firearm or other weapon where a person might be endangered
  • Misdemeanor unlawful discharge of a firearm
  • Felony assault with a deadly weapon
  • Misdemeanor failure to stop at the scene of an accident involving damage
  • Felony possession of a controlled substance

Bail: $15,000

Tri-NET Officers Arrest Suspected Drug Dealer in Sting Operation

DUI First — 41-Year-Old Carson City Woman

Deputies arrested a 41-year-old Carson City woman Friday for DUI first and speeding after conducting a traffic stop at a gas station in the 3000 block of North Roop Street.

According to the report, deputies observed a gray Toyota Tacoma fail to come to a complete stop at a stop sign near Northgate Lane and Hot Springs Road around 11:32 p.m. Thursday. Deputies followed the pickup and reported it was speeding, with a radar reading of 52 mph in a 35 mph zone.

After deputies activated their emergency lights, the woman pulled into the gas station, parked at an angle and stopped abruptly.

Deputies reported the woman’s eyes were bloodshot, her hands were shaky and she was breathing heavily. They also detected the odor of alcohol. The woman initially admitted to drinking a little bit and later stated she had consumed two White Claw seltzers at home before driving.
