Recent arrests: Carson City man jailed for suspicion of DUI
A 60-year-old Carson City man was arrested Wednesday night in the area of South Carson and Rhodes Street for misdemeanor suspicion of DUI and other charges.
According to the arrest report, deputies were dispatched at 8:14 p.m. to locate a possible intoxicated driver. The reporting party was following the suspect vehicle southbound on North Carson Street and advised the suspect vehicle was failing to maintain its travel lane and nearly had a head on collision with another vehicle while in Washoe Valley.
A deputy was able to find the vehicle, followed it and observed it weaving in its travel lane, crossing the dashed white lane line and white right fog line at the edge of the road. The deputy performed a traffic stop at the intersection of South Carson and Rhodes Street.
The driver identified himself with his Nevada driver’s license. The officer observed thick, slurred speech and slow movements. He was asked if he would perform standardized field sobriety tests. He agreed. He denied consuming alcohol and said he takes Xanax, having taken his last dose that morning.
While speaking with the man, the deputy observed his balance was wobbly. The man showed clues of impairment on the tests. He had a slight odor of alcohol on his breath but refused to provide a preliminary breath test and was arrested.
At jail he refused evidentiary testing. A search warrant to obtain blood samples was granted by a Carson City judge and samples were collected. At intake into the jail, he voluntarily provided a preliminary breath test sample to jail staff with a result of .140, the arrest report states. He faces misdemeanor charges of DUI, failure to maintain a travel lane and failure to obey traffic control devices. Bail: $1,336.
