Carson City deputies make arrests for disorderly, resisting and obstructing

A 27-year-old man was arrested early Wednesday in the 900 block of North Carson Street for misdemeanor suspicion of disorderly conduct and resisting a public officer, a Carson City sheriff's deputy report states.

According to the report, a deputy patrolling the area observed a man sleeping on a bench at 1:20 a.m. in front of a motel in the 900 block of North Carson Street. The officer asked the man for identification.

The man didn't have ID and provided a name. The deputy ran a records check which didn't have any matches in all 50 states. The man became uncooperative after being asked to place his bag down on a bench, the report states. He eventually complied.

After multiple times to get accurate information, the man was advised he was being arrested for disorderly conduct. The man refused to comply with commands to place his hands behind his back and pulled away from the officer. He refused commands and was taken to the ground where he tucked his hands underneath himself. He continued to refuse commands and was tasered and placed into custody. Bail: $654.

— A 36-year-old Carson City man was arrested Tuesday, 10:39 p.m. in the 2500 block of North Carson Street for suspicion of obstructing an officer, a misdemeanor.

According to the arrest report, a deputy was dispatched to look for a vehicle where a reporting party stated a passenger window was shattered outward while traveling on I-580. A deputy located the vehicle via a license plate check which came back to a business in the 2500 block of North Carson Street. The vehicle was unoccupied. The deputy discovered the front passenger window was shattered and observed blood on the inside of the passenger front door.

While waiting for a cover unit, a juvenile child walked outside with a dog. The deputy could hear yelling inside the building from a male and female.

The male came to the door and had his hand in his right jacket pocket. The deputy instructed him to remove his hand from his pocket. The man became angry and aggressive toward two deputies, and said he did not want to talk anymore and began yelling that deputies were trespassing on his property and told them to leave, the report states.

The man then went back inside and locked the door. Later he came back outside and was still verbally agitated. Deputies could smell alcohol coming from his person. The man told officers that they were treating him like a criminal, the report states.

A deputy explained to the man the sheriff's office received a call from Washoe County that someone reported a suspicious circumstance regarding a vehicle and a window being smashed out while the vehicle was being driven on the road. The man again became verbally aggressive and told officers to leave and that there wasn't a crime, the report states.

The deputy told the man that officers were there for a lawful reason and that he needed to stop obstructing the investigation. The man then rushed back to the building and was stopped and detained. The man kept yelling and physically resisting, the report states. He would not allow officers to interview him, and yelled at all deputies who arrived on scene. He was placed under arrest for suspicion of obstructing an officer and taken to jail. Bail: $412.
