Christmas Fair at Carson City Senior Center happening this Wednesday and Thursday

On Thursday December 13, 2018 at approximately 8:15 p.m., two Washoe Tribe Police Department Officers were dispatched to a domestic disturbance on the Dresslerville Community located in Douglas County.

The Christmas season can be difficult for children in foster care. For some, it may be the first Christmas not spent with their families. For others, it is just one more Christmas in the child welfare system.

A 21-year-old transient man was charged with 19 counts of violating conditions of bail release after calling a victim he was ordered to have no contact with a total of 19 times while in custody at the Carson City Jail.

Join park staff for a hike on Wednesday, Jan. 1 — the first day of 2019 — at Washoe Lake State Park, East Lake Blvd. in Washoe Valley, from 1-2:30 p.m.

Carson City and Douglas County emergency crews are on scene of a single vehicle crash that occurred about three miles west of Spooner Junction up U.S. Highway 50 toward Lake Tahoe Thursday night.

The vehicle is reported to be blocking the No. 1 eastbound travel lane.

An ambulance is on scene. Extent of injuries is unknown.

Reader Mike Cowan sent in this photo of our local wild horses who are for some reason deciding to walk through Washoe Lake on their Thursday commute.

The lake has been slowly emptying the last few months due to the dryer conditions, and apparently the horses are taking advantage of the shallows.

Swimmers should take note: you should always yield to swimming livestock because it’s more polite than cutting through the aquatic equestrian’s here.

Live music featuring Blu' Jaz is scheduled for Jan. 4-5 and 18-19 from 7-9 p.m. at Bella Fiore Wines, 224 S. Carson Street in Carson City.

The Carson City Rifle and Pistol range will be open for use on Tuesday, December 25th and Tuesday, January 1st from 6am to 6pm.

A Carson City woman was arrested in the 3700 block of Tuolumne Street on the charges of felony battery with a deadly weapon, felony assault with a deadly weapon, and felony burglary.

On Saturday morning, unites were dispatched to the area in regards to a stabbing that had just occurred. While on route, dispatch advised that a woman reported her brother-in-law’s wife, Stephanie Ross, attacked her with a knife. The woman said she had been stabbed in the hand and that she barricaded herself in the bedroom.

A motor vehicle accident Thursday morning a little after 8 a.m. has closed the westbound travel lanes of Fairview Drive about a block east of Roop Street.

Reader Cullen Shiffrin sent in these photos of a mysterious light over town, taken on Wednesday evening. Could it be space junk, part of the ongoing meteor shower, or perhaps spooky aliens looking to become Carson City tourists?

The National Weather Service in Reno posted on Twitter that the light "was likely a meteor or space debris entering the upper atmosphere."

A motor vehicle accident involving a grey sedan near the intersection of U.S. Highway 50 and Airport Road in East Carson City is currently blocking the westbound lanes of Highway 50 East.

The crash occurred shortly before 5:40 p.m. Wednesday night. One vehicle occupant was transported by ground ambulance to Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center with unknown injuries.

Motorists can expect delays in the area and should seek an alternate route.

The Bob Boldrick Theater shared photos of the renovations currently underway. The trademark orange carpeted walls have been stripped, and now the seats have all been removed as well.

Sierra Nevada Forums will be hosting a discussion on behavioral health and the criminal justice system in a January 8 forum.

"Carson City has been at the forefront in developing innovative programs focused on diverting individuals with mental illness and substance use problems from the criminal justice system," said a Forums spokesperson. "Community leaders will discuss how these strategic interventions have assisted struggling individuals while also reducing costs to the community."
