Felony grand larceny charge added after truck theft in Carson City Smith's parking lot

A 31-year-old Reno woman faces a felony charge of grand larceny after Carson City deputies were able to look at surveillance video that showed her taking a 2005 Dodge truck on July 10 from the parking lot at Smith's.

Kendra Ann Harkey was brought up on the felony grand larceny charge Tuesday, July 16 in addition to other charges, including felony possession of stolen property.

According to the arrest report, officers were called to the residence regarding a noise complaint. Upon arrival officers could hear a loud radio broadcast from the street coming from an apartment.

Officers knocked on the door several times, with the door being wide open but the screen door shut. Officers opened the door after seeing a person's foot near the home entertainment system. Martin was sleeping soundly. The officer turned the radio down and called to him but the man would not wake up, according to the arrest report.

After shaking the man's leg vigorously, he did wake up. As he spoke, officers could smell a strong odor of alcohol. It was learned during a warrant and background check that Martin was on probation with a "no drinking" clause. A preliminary breath test was given where the man blew a .17, the arrest report states. He was arrested for being in violation in terms of his probation. He is on a no bail hold.

The victim, a man, said his ex-girlfriend came over to his home demanding that he remove photos of her from his computer. He told police a verbal argument began. When he wouldn't allow the woman full access to the computer, the man told police she hit him with her hands, fists, a computer cable and a flip flop.

Deputies report the man had marks on his body, including a red, non-bleeding abrasion to his left lat muscle area behind and below his arm pit. The man said the injuries happened when she hit him with the computer cord. He told authorities he called 911 as he fended the woman's blows with his left arm raised, the arrest report states.

The woman was interviewed. She told police the man would not let her send an email to herself from his computer and said the man put her in a control hold when she attempted to use the computer, the arrest report states.

She told police the man unplugged the modem cord and she said she struggled to get out of his hold and struck at him several times to get away using her left hand.
