Carson City deputies make arrests for stalking, multiple cases of domestic battery

An 18-year-old Carson City woman was arrested in the 1000 block of S. Roop Street Wednesday afternoon for suspicion of stalking and two counts of violation of bail conditions.

According to the arrest report, deputies responded to a residence in reference to a threat report. Upon arrival, deputies spoke with a woman who advised she has had multiple issues involving a neighbor, including restraining orders. The woman said a temporary protection order was in place to protect her young children and herself from the neighbor, which had expired three days before this incident occurred.

She reported to deputies that she and her young son walked to the basketball court, then left to go pay bills at the office. She said she was in the office for only a few minutes when she heard a female yelling and screaming near the basketball courts.

The woman went back to the basketball courts and observed the neighbor grabbing and shaking the chainlink fence around the basketball court while screaming at her son. She said the neighbor was yelling “The TPO expired mother******. I’m going to put your mom in jail then I’m going to f****** kill you," according to the arrest report.

The woman said she showed herself and confronted the neighbor, who quickly exited the area.

Deputies spoke with the son, who confirmed what the neighbor had been screaming at him. He said she told him she was going to kill him and kept calling him a “stupid mother******.” He said there had been no contact with her prior to her threatening him.

The woman said she should have extended the protection order, but heard the neighbor was moving so she let it lapse. This is not the first time she has exhibited this kind of behavior toward the woman’s young children, and she is fearful the neighbor could become violent, according to the police report. She confirmed she is afraid of her behavior and felt threatened, and that she would sign a Citizen’s Arrest form against her.

The woman and her son provided written statements about what happened.

Deputies were familiar with the neighbor, the report stated, and a similar situation the deputy investigated involved a protection order violation and arrest. She is known to be uncooperative and unstable.

Deputies made contact with the neighbor at her residence and interviewed her about the incident between herself and the child. She complained about past verbal altercations she had with the mother, and confirmed she had gone out to tell the boy to stay away from her apartment. She claimed deputies have ordered the boy and his brother to stay away from her residence but there is no protection order on file.

She said she told the boy to stay away from her apartment and when it looked like the boy was planning to film her with his phone she told him there was no longer a TPO in effect so there was nothing he could do.

Deputies asked her why she felt it was appropriate to confront young children in the way she did. According to the report, she tried to defend herself by saying the mother was the problem and had tried to fight her own mother.

She also complained that Law Enforcement has not done anything she wanted them to do and always blamed her for the problems she was having.

Deputies informed the neighbor they were taking her into custody for stalking. She began to scream and shriek as deputies attempted to get ahold of her hands. Her instinct was to pull away toward her mother, who was also present. The deputy got control of her hands and she did not offer any resistance, but she continued to scream in protest.

Once at the jail, an officer with the department of alternative sentencing was already on scene. The officer attempted to calm her with little success. The officer advised deputies she was on alternative sentencing for multiple cases and requested two additional charges be added for violating bail conditions. Bail: $6,352, cash only.

The aunt told deputies that when she arrived to drop off her children and her mother, the suspect became very angry and came out of his room and began yelling and cursing at her.

— A Carson City woman was arrested late Wednesday night in the 600 block of Saliman for domestic battery. Deputies were dispatched to a residence for a report of a domestic battery that was actively occurring. Upon arrival, the reporting deputy stated he saw another deputy speaking to a woman in the driveway of the residence. The reporting deputy went into the garage where he saw a man and a young juvenile female. The man invited him inside the residence to talk about what had happened.

The man said he had been arguing with his wife about a group text that had occurred earlier int he day. He said she had accused him of cheating on her. He informed deputies that both he and his wife were intoxicated. He said he is an alcoholic and drinks every night, and so does his wife.

He said his three children were in the residence when the argument happened. He said he had been trying to keep the kids upstairs when she became extremely angry. He described the argument as he and his wife being downstairs in the kitchen and the kids being upstairs.

He said his wife approached him in the kitchen and began punching him with a closed fist, striking him in the face six times. Deputies noted they saw fresh red marks consistent with being hit in the face. The man said after she hit him in the face she took a water bottle and threw it in the sink. He said there had been a wine glass in the sink that broke and shattered. He said she grabbed the broken wine glass and attempted to throw it at him, and that she had gotten a cut on her hand from picking it up.

The deputy noted in the report that while they were speaking with the man, the woman was in the driveway yelling so loudly it caused the reporting deputy to stop several times during the interview to make sure the other deputy was okay with handling her.

After the interview with the man ended, the deputy spoke with the wife, and asked what had happened. She said nothing had happened, and was extremely uncooperative and had a strong odor of alcohol emitting from her breath, the report said. She had a hard time standing and keeping her balance. She said she had been battered by her husband in the past and refused to tell the deputy what had happened.

Due to her uncooperative nature, and the fact that the man’s injuries matched up with his story, deputies determined the wife to be the primary aggressor. While she was being detained, she began yelling slurs and swears at the deputies.

She was handed over to the Carson City Jail, and a request was made to Child Protective Services due to the unstable and potential dangerous environment for the juvenile children due to the parent’s drinking problem, the report said. Bail: $3,137.
