The Carson City Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s assistance in attempting to locate three subjects wanted for robbery and extortion.

On June 12, 2019 at approximately 10:30 p.m., Damien Munoz-Malone, Anthony Munoz, and Waylon Filmore were at Dotty’s Casino in the 3700 block of South Carson Street. While in the business they saw a subject and his girlfriend in the casino. The subject owed Anthony a small amount of money.

After approaching the subject and not getting the money he was owed, Anthony, Damien, and Waylon went outside and waited for the subject and his girlfriend to exit the casino. Once the subject and his girlfriend exited the casino they were approached by Damien and Anthony.

Anthony began a physical altercation with the male victim. During the altercation, Damien struck the victim in the back of the head unprovoked. Once on the ground, Damien and Anthony continued to beat the victim. While the male was being beaten, his girlfriend attempted to step in to stop the attack.

The female victim was struck by Damien causing her to lose control of her purse and spilling her wallet out onto the ground. Damien then picked up the wallet and ran from the scene. The female victim gave chase to attempt to get her property back. During the chase, Waylon attempted to strike the female with a 1 liter soda bottle.

All three subjects fled the scene prior to law enforcements arrival. After completing the investigation, it was determined that all three had committed Robbery, and that Anthony and Damien had also committed Extortion. All three have felony warrants out for their arrest. It is believed that all three are hiding out on Tribal lands in the Carson City, Douglas County areas.

Anyone with information on the location of Anthony, Damien, and Waylon is asked to call Detective Tucker at 775-283-7858, Captain Brian Humphrey at 775-283-7850, Carson City Dispatch at 775-887-COPS (2677), or Secret Witness at 775-322-4900. You can remain anonymous.

Fishing Report: Most roads are open, waters are clear and the fish are biting

$

Hello fellow anglers. Sorry, but I have been off fishing for a couple weeks. Which I will share in the reports this week.

We are now in summer, and there are a few things we have to remember.

The most important thing is, no fires are allowed outside of designated camping areas. Even while in a camp area, try to use common sense. Reason I say that, I was fishing and camping at Bridgeport reservoir last week. The winds came up early around two in the afternoon. They averaged 15 to 30 mph through the evening, and there were a few people having camp fires. With all the dry grasses in the surrounding area, and sparks flying. We were very lucky not to have had a disaster. Sometimes we just have to think to ourselves, is a campfire that important? 

One other important item is to stay hydrated. While out on a hot day, make sure you have plenty of water on hand. Even with temperatures only in the mid 80's the sun can tear you down fast without drinking plenty of fluids. Especially boaters without a canopy to protect from the suns direct rays.

The most important thing is sunscreen; use SPF 50 or above. I saw a few unfortunate people that probably wished they had used their sunscreen. Make sure to apply it multiple times a day. I prefer to use the spray because it is easy and simple to apply.

Some good news for fellow anglers. Many of the upper lakes are thawed and are fishing well. One last reminder, the rattlesnakes are out and have been seen all over the valley and up into Alpine County as well so watch your step. If you want to see what happens to a victim of a snake bite, go online and lookup "fishing writer survives a bite from deadly snake.” I can tell you, it can put a damper on a fishing trip, and may cost you your life. This writer was lucky he was not alone. Now lets check out your fishing report.

LAKE TAHOE: Fishing has been good for Mackinaw 1 to 8 lbs. North shore shelves, South shore shelves are heavily loaded, with prespawning Macks. The full moon has slowed the fishing bite somewhat as they are stuffed with shrimp and crawdads. Cal Neva point, Dollar shelf, Agate bay, Ski Run shelf, Tahoe Keys shelf and Cave Rock shelf are loaded with mature Mackinaw as well. 90 to 250 ft. are the stacked depths depending on the area and thermal springs. Slow bait presentations with flashers and minnows or dodgers and minnows bounced off the bottom every now and then. Lures consisting of flat fish and stick baits can be successful at times as well. For more information contact Blue Ribbon Fishing charters at 530-544-6552.

SILVER LAKE: The lake thawed a couple weeks ago. I fished with Tom Blotter from Minden just after the ice out. We trolled large stick baits over the rocky areas. Tom got into a large fish which he fought for awhile until it threw the hook.  We got back into it and fished for a couple more hours. We stopped and threw some spoons on the north end of the lake, where I was lucky enough to hook into a large mackinaw. After 25 minutes or so and help of Tom guiding the boat, we landed a 10.8 lb mackinaw using an ultra lite pole and 8 lb test. That was a true rush of adrenaline I will remember for along time.

CAPLES LAKE: The lake has thawed and the resort is open for boat/kayak rentals, lodging and boat launching. They have a general store for most of your needs. The campground is still closed and may not open this year. The CDFW has stocked the lake last week with rainbow trout. The day use area has opened for the season. The water level is up and the fishing has been productive from shore as well as from a boat. For more information stop by the Caples Lake Resort.

WOODS LAKE: The road has not opened as of this week for the season yet.

BLUE LAKES: The road is open to the 4th gate up to Faith Valley. That is approximately 7 miles off highway 88.

PLEASANT VALLEY, WOLF CREEK: Roads are open for the season. Use caution on Wolf Creek as the road can be very narrow in areas due to mud slides and repairs.

BURNSIDE LAKE: The road has opened  for the season. No fishing reports as yet have come in.

UPPER TRUCKEE, TROUT CREEK, TAYLOR CREEK: All located on the south end of Lake Tahoe. Will open to fishing as of July 1, 2019. I practice catch and release on these areas due to the fact the trout are all native and are not stocked by CDFW. I also use barbless hooks on my lures. It is not the regulations for these waters, only my suggestion. These fish are the future of lake Tahoe and it fishery.

CARSON RIVER WEST FORK CALIFORNIA SIDE: The area up in Hope valley from Blue Lakes road to Sorensons resort is excellent right now. The CDFW and Alpine County will be stocking over 3000 lbs of trout over the next seven days. The water is clear with a slight green tint, much different from what is seen down in the Minden Valley area. For more information stop by the Creekside Lodge.

CARSON RIVER EAST FORK CALIFORNIA SIDE: The river is a little high, but very fishable. Also a different story in coloration. With our cooler temperatures the river has a green tint and will be stocked by CDFW. Alpine County will be stocking close to 4000 lbs of rainbow trout over the next week. Fishing has been very productive for anglers using power bait or drifting a night crawler close to the bottom. Salmon eggs have also been working well. For those tossing spinners, you might want to use a little heavier lure to get it off the top of the water. For more information stop by Todd's Bait and Tackle.

INDIAN CREEK RESERVOIR: The water is up and the weeds are growing. The lake is scheduled to be planted this week by CDFW. Due to the rising water temps, the fish have been more active in the early morning hours or late evenings. Not to say the bite will not come on in the afternoon. Remember that those weeds may be a pain in the back side, but they are your friend. That is where the fish stay on those hot days. So don't curse the weeds, use them to your advantage.

HIGHLAND LAKES: The road is still closed as of this week.

TOPAZ LAKE: Tom Blotter and I fished with good success last weekend in the early morning and late evening. Rapalas or a flasher and a 1/2 a night crawler had best success. The water level has risen a  few feet on the lake, but has tapered off this week. For boaters, use extreme caution on the lake, as we encountered a lot of debris from the run off from the Walker River diversion drainage. We saw large branches as we ventured across the lake. Shore anglers have had good success with power bait or inflated night crawlers.

CDFW STOCKING REPORT: Echo lake lower, Carson rivers east and west, Markleeville creek, Alpine Lake, Silver Lake, Caples Lake, Indian Creek res.

NDOW STOCKING REPORT: Baily Pond, Marilyns Pond, Wilson Common Pond, Carson River east.

WALKER RIVERS: Both rivers are running high and muddy as of last weekend.

BRIDGEPORT RESERVOIR: Fishing was slow last weekend. Most fish came in on the anchored boats using a night crawler. Tom and I caught a few nice rainbows and a couple browns trolling Rapalas.  The week before last was on fire with many anglers catching trout from 2.5 to over 4 lbs. The lake can be slow and at the same time turn on to rainbows and browns in the 3 - 8 lb class. For more information call the Bridgeport Marina and Campground at 760-932-7001. Meet the new owner Chase Pasley. It is amazing the turn around of what he has done with the resort.

JUNE LAKE AREA:
— JUNE LAKE: Big Rock Resort (760) 648 - 7717. Laurie and Mike there showed me the most impressive Cutthroat of the season I’ve seen. A 4lb - 10oz beauty caught by Nona from Atascadero trolling a nightcrawler (probably threaded) with a watermelon mini-dodger down near the beach drop off. That’s fishing creatively. The Cutthroat fishing has been steadily improving with more and larger Cutts each year as the population grows.

— June Lake Marina (760) 648 - 7726. Abby says catching has slowed somewhat since the weekend but should pick up again as Summer approaches. They are set to bring in some 1 to 2 lb Oregon Rainbows before 4th of July which will be released through their pens. The marina offers a nice gear rental package when renting a boat that includes all the bait and tackle needed to get going.

GRANT LAKE: Grant Lake Marina and Campground. No phone. The lake is full up and over the spillway. Best approach is by boat for best access. When it’s full like this some of the shore fishing gets cut down in particular along the west or highway side. The east or back side is accessible via dirt roads. Harold at the marina tells me trolling is the way to go for some nice Browns in the mornings. 5 to 7 colors lead core with copper and copper/orange Speedy Shiners and the most popular lure in the Eastern Sierra, red and gold Thomas Bouyants. He adds that there’s a heck of a lot of fish out there and the bite should improve as the Rush Creek run-off slows and less food is being pushed into the lake.

SILVER LAKE: Silver Lake Resort (760) 648-7525. The fishing at Silver has been up and down the past couple weeks probably due to the increased run-off coming into the lake. I have no doubt it’ll pick up as the flow slows mainly due to the aggressive stocking of those Oregon Rainbows by the Resort. If you fish the lake or Rush Creek nearby stop in at the Resort store and check their fish book and photos. You’ll find there’s still some nice Rainbows and Browns being hauled in with the usual suspects of floating baits and nightcrawlers.

RUSH CREEK: Rush is flowing real high right now and is blown out in some stretches. There are folks fishing it so you may be able to hunt and peck for some slower spots. Throw your favorite lures or crawlers and/or salmon eggs with enough sinker to get down in the flow.

FLY FISHING: Stop in at Ernie’s for the latest. In the lakes some kind of floating device is needed. When you see fish feeding on the surface mostly in the mornings when it’s calm roll with dries including gnats, skeeters,  caddis flies. I get more hits in lakes anywhere when stripping in with the fly slightly submerged. As the day goes on switch to streamer and buggers deeper with sink line or add some split shot dragged and twitched along. Also try a bead head wet fly with a nymph dropper. Fly fishing Rush Creek is tough so stop in and we can suggest alternatives in and out of The Loop. For more information contact Ernie's Tackle and Ski Shop at 760-648-7756.

Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you get a photo of your catch send it to editor@carsonnow.org I would also like to say thank you to the California game warden officers on Topaz lake as well as the Mono County Sheriffs Department for stopping and asking for our fishing licenses and taking the time to answer a few questions.  Good fishin' and tight lines.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office received information Monday from the Nevada Highway Patrol they were in pursuit of a Dodge Challenger driven by a suspect from Sundays shooting in Reno.

The call for assistance came in at approximately 12:47 p.m. NHP reported speeds had exceeded 125 mph and they were headed to Douglas County from Carson City. All available on duty Patrol and Investigations units jumped to action and assisted our Northern Nevada partners which included Reno Police Departments, Carson City Sheriff’s Office and the Nevada Highway Patrol.

The pursuit traveled down 395 working its way through the Gardnerville Ranchos, eventually heading southbound on Hwy 88. An unnamed female was dropped off in the area of Airport road during the chase. She was taken into custody shortly after the pursuit ended. Her involvement is not being disclosed as the investigation is ongoing.

The pursuit terminated a few hundred yards off Dressler Lane where the driver and sole occupant at that time, crashed through a local ranch fence and came to rest in knee high vegetation. The suspect, identified by the Reno Police Department as Ronnie Demone Crawford, 41, attempted to run however he was met by several of Douglas County’s finest and taken into custody without incident.

Sheriff Dan Coverley, who was actively involved with the pursuit, is pleased to report no one was injured and very minimal property damage is reported from the local ranch on Dressler Lane. The Dodge Challenger driven by the suspect suffer a different fate and will be impounded as part of the investigation. The driver was medically cleared per policy and is being processed for booking at the Douglas County Jail.

The General is a silent comedy film released by United Artists. It was inspired by the Great Locomotive Chase, a true story of an event that occurred during the American Civil War. The story was adapted from the memoir The Great Locomotive Chase by William Pittenger. The film stars Buster Keaton who was co-director along with Clyde Bruckman. The General is now often ranked among the greatest American films ever made.

Jim Clark, known to many as “The Train Man” is a veteran of more than 250 films. Clark is an engineer and train coordinator who is associated with several of the biggest films with trains and their Hollywood stars. Some of those films include "The Lone Ranger", "Wild, Wild, West", "Into the West" and “Water for Elephants."

The suggested donation is $5 per person. The Dangberg ranch house will be open for one hour before the event for anyone who would like an introduction to the park’s history.

On Saturday, July 20, at 10:00 am, the Dangberg Home Ranch Western Jamboree will open with cowboy poet and master of ceremonies Tony Argento. Argento is not only a poet, but a humorist, story teller, historian and writer. In 2013 he was the featured Cowboy Poet of the “National Day of the Cowboy” celebration at the Kennewick, Washington Cowboy Gathering.

Cowboy poets Diana Miller and Harold “Horse bard Roy” Miller will take the stage next. Harold Miller’s stories and poems have been published in several western magazines such as Western Horseman and Natural Horse Magazine. Miller was nominated for Cowboy Poet of the year in 2006 and 2008 for the Western Music Association. He has published five books, appeared in two documentaries, three commercials and been cast as a western character in a number of films.

When not reciting their poems around the country, the Millers raise gaited horses in Stagecoach, Nevada.

Two musical acts will perform at the jamboree. At noon, the Sierra Sweethearts will take the stage. The Sierra Sweethearts are Northern Nevada’s premier all woman ensemble. Winners of the 2017 “Forte Award for Northern Nevada’s Best Bluegrass/Americana Band", the Sweethearts serve up an exciting mix of bluegrass, cowboy, swing and country classics, spiced with generous amounts of humor.

Rounding out the event’s entertainment, Mike Beck will take the stage at 2:30 pm. Beck is an engaging acoustic solo artist who is a regularly featured performer at The National Cowboy Poetry and Music Gathering. He has seven albums with original songs that have been recognized as some of the finest compositions on Western Americana.

The ticket price for the Dangberg Home Ranch Western Jamboree is $20 for 17 years and older, $10 for members and free for 16 years and younger. Non-member tickets can be purchased at dangberg.eventbrite.com.

For both events, guests are welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy and the Friends of Dangberg Home Ranch will provide a no-host bar benefiting the restoration of the park’s historic buildings.

Man tells Carson City deputy he won't go to jail on warrants, low speed chase ensues

A 41-year-old Carson City man was arrested Monday for suspicion of felony evading, eluding arrest and other alleged offenses after a low-speed vehicle pursuit, a sheriff's arrest report states.

Jared Michael Hoffman was taken into custody at 6:17 p.m. in the area of South Curry and West 10th Street. He faces charges of attempted evading and eluding, two misdemeanor warrants, driving without proof of insurance, driving with a suspended license, and driving with suspended registration.

According to the arrest report, deputies were patrolling the area and did a registration check on a green Land Rover SUV. The license returned suspended. The deputy activated his overhead emergency lights and conducted a traffic stop.

Upon interacting with the driver of the vehicle, Hoffman identified himself using a Nevada driver's license. The officer asked him for the vehicle registration and proof of insurance for the vehicle. A records check returned that the man had two misdemeanor warrants for failing to appear for traffic citations. The warrants were issued by Carson City Justice and Municipal Court of Carson City. The officer also learned the man's license was suspended for failure to appear.

The warrants were confirmed. With the information provided and the man having a history of failure to appear, the officer called for a second patrol unit, the report states. Additional deputies arrived and were advised of the situation and advised the man has a medical condition and that he moves slowly due to the medical condition.

The arresting deputy approached the driver side of the vehicle and while speaking with the man, the deputy advised he had two warrants for his arrest. The officer asked the man to turn off the vehicle and step out. The deputy then observed the man shift the transmission into drive with his right hand on the center console shifter. The officer ordered the man to place the vehicle in the park position and turn off the ignition, the report states.

Hoffman looked at the officer and said "I'm not going to jail," and pushed the accelerator and the vehicle took off eastbound on Colorado Street.

The deputy called out on his hand held radio that the vehicle was fleeing the traffic stop. The deputy provided the direction of travel and observed the Land Rover was not moving very fast as it approached the intersection of Colorado and South Roop Street, the report states.

The vehicle turned north on Roop Street where the deputy followed the man with his emergency lights and siren activated. The Land Rover turned west on Fairview and continued at a speed of 25 mph, the report states.

The Land Rover turned north on South Carson Street and stayed at 25 mph and the driver used the turn signals each and every turn or lane change, the arrest report states.

The vehicle stopped for the red light at the intersection of South Carson and south Stewart Street and when the light turned green, the driver then continued northbound, the report states.

At the intersection of South Carson and 8th the vehicle turned west. After stopping at the stop sign at South Curry and West 8th, the vehicle turned southbound.

As the vehicle approached South Curry and 10th the vehicle stopped at the stop sign. The officer pulled his patrol vehicle around the passenger side of the Land Rover and then pulled in front of it, angling the patrol vehicle and leaving enough room for escape. The officer exited his patrol vehicle and moved away from the front of the Land Rover.

The deputy moved toward the rear of the Land Rover with other deputies where a high risk traffic stop was conducted. The man followed all instructions and complied and exited the vehicle. He was arrested and taken to jail. Bail: $6,365.

In other arrests:
— A 28-year-old Reno woman, Salud Mariela Garcia, was arrested Tuesday, 2:37 a.m. in the 3500 block of Highway 50 East for a felony warrant out of Reno Township Justice Court and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to the arrest report a deputy was patrolling the parking lot area of a storage facility and saw a blue Geo Metro with Washington license plates parked in the parking lot. There was a red blanket draped over the front windshield. The passenger window was slightly down but the officer could not see anyone in the vehicle.

The officer made contact with the vehicle and saw it occupied by a male, and female. They said they had just moved to Carson City for work and did not have a place to live and so they were sleeping in their car. The officer informed them it was against the law to camp within the city limits of Carson City. Both stated they did not know.

The deputy ran the name of the pair and a warrant came up for Garcia, issued out of Reno Township Justice Court. After receiving a consent to search a deputy located a black purse with three glass pipes, commonly used to consume narcotics. The woman admitted to owning the pipes. Bail for the warrant, $40,000. Bail for the drug paraphernalia: $1,137.

— A 66-year-old male transient was arrested Tuesday, 12:51 a.m. in the 3400 block of South Carson Street for two outstanding misdemeanor warrants, one from East Fork Township, and the other from Carson City Justice Court. Bail for both warrants: $3,500.

— A 39-year-old Carson City man was arrested Monday, 4:29 p.m. in the 1900 block of North Carson Street for two misdemeanor warrants: violation of suspended sentence, issued July 2, 2019 and failure to appear, issued April 29, 2019. Both warrants were out of Carson City Justice Court. Bail: $2,075 cash.

— A 25-year-old transient was arrested Monday, 7:40 a.m. for misdemeanor petit larceny. According to at the arrest report, the victim of a petit larceny stated his Ring Doorbell camera was stolen on July 15 between the hours of 2:50 and 3:05 a.m. Another deputy provided a photograph from the Ring Doorbell camera where the arresting deputy recognized the male in the photo from a residential burglary last week in the same area.

The deputy responded to Carson City Jail where the suspect was being held for the residential burglary charge. He was read his Miranda warning and agreed to speak. He was told of the reason the officer was there to speak to him.

When the officer showed the man the photo from the Ring Doorbell camera, the man admitted to being the male in the photo. The victim was informed the suspect had been identified. The victim stated he wished to pursue charges. He completed a citizens arrest form and the suspect was booked on the charge. Bail: $342.

— All information for the crime log (unless otherwise noted) comes from the arrest reports supplied by the Carson City Sheriff's Office, and is considered by law to be public information. All subjects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The policy of Carson Now is to name anyone who is arrested for a felony offense.

As we were leaving Casino Fandango, after watching “The Lion King,” my friend Cathy turns to me and says, “you should write your column about what happens when people get power hungry.” I laughed because I was already thinking about what she was suggesting. When “Moana” came out, I wrote three columns talking about the themes in that movie. (You can find those columns by typing my name in the search bar).

If you are a leader, you have had, or have witnessed, many of the leadership personas in “The Lion King.”

The Mufasa Persona:

”Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope.”

Mufasa is the benevolent alpha. He is the perfect example of servant leadership. Servant leaders lead in the interest of the whole. They understand the balance of the organization and respect it. They don’t sit in their offices and direct from afar. They connect with people and exist to provide opportunity (hunt) and remove barriers (chase the hyenas away).

Ask yourself:
What traits of a servant leader (a Mufasa) do I have? Which could I develop?
What am I doing today that is considering ­­everyone?
Am I making decisions in a bubble or am I basing decisions on data/research?

The Simba Persona:
”Danger? Hah! I walk on the wild side. I laugh in the face of danger.”
Simba is an archetype based on the evolution of ego. “No one will think I’m a cub after I do this!” (Not enough) As a result of his deflated ego, Simba puts himself in dangerous situations. He exhibits bravado versus courage. Bravado is acting without regard to the data/research. Courage is making a choice knowing it is the best choice. Mufasa shows courage. Simba exhibits bravado. Simba evolves because his is open to seeing the data and listening to trusted advisors.

Ask yourself:
Am I doing this because I am trying to “show them?”
How can I be courageous instead of learning on false bravado?
What am I doing today to take the whole picture into account before making major decisions?

The Nala Persona:
”Because it’s your responsibility.”
Nala is the conscientious supporter. She is strong and a leader in her own right because she knows what is best for the whole. She is the person in your group that asks all the right questions. She encourages people to step into their power. However, she also knows when to stop pushing and walk away. She understands the difference between responsibility (natural duty) and obligation (heavy strings). She has an outcome in mind, but she won’t compromise herself to get the outcome she wants. She’s willing to walk away from Simba and let him make his own choices. She’s not codependent.

Ask yourself:
How do I build people up to be their best selves?
Do I have an eye toward responsibility, or do I feel obligated?
Am I willing to walk away and let people make their own choices?

The Scar Persona:
“Long live the king.”
Scar is the perfect example of the ego swing. He swings from not enough, “I will never be king” to too much “Long live the king.” He’s willing to do anything in service to his ego, including engaging in partnerships that will harm the organization. The partnership with the hyenas helps him assert his power (a win for him) but by overhunting and never being full (greed, gluttony) the land is soon as barren as the one the hyenas came from. This is what happens when a leader makes a deal that will look good on the bottom line in the short term, but ultimately is a bad deal in the long term. The leader looks great temporarily. Then reality sets in. The leader still insists the decision was for the best.

Ask yourself:
Are my partnerships in alignment with the health of the organization?
What decisions am I making that might be self-serving or for the glory of the deal?
If I am forming these partnerships and making these decisions, what can I do to assure the good of all?

There are other characters in “The Lion King” that come with their own lessons. Where do you see aspects of yourself? Where do you see others? What leadership lessons did you learn from “The Lion King,” or any other movie? If you need help with your leadership development, I’m local and here to help. The floor is yours, Carson City.

Carson City outdoor concert series ends Saturday with powerhouse The Brevet, New Wave Crave

Event Date: 
August 24, 2019 - 7:00pm

The Levitt AMP Carson City summer concert series concludes this Saturday, Aug. 24 with indie alt-rocker powerhouse The Brevet headlining and opening act New Wave Crave.

All are invited to the free final 2019 Levitt AMP summer concert at BAC’s outdoor amphitheater, at the Change Companies stage, on Saturday to see these great performances. See the video here.

Southern California alt-rockers The Brevet have received praise from the likes of the Los Angeles Times, Paste, and American Songwriter for their sweeping Americana rock, orchestral flourishes and unforgettable choruses, punctuated by connective emotional lyrics.

The group's origins can be traced back to frontman Aric Chase Damm's college days, when he discovered his talent for writing scores for student films. The band burst onto the scene in 2013 with their debut record, Battle of the Heart, which received several placements in film and television.

True to its roots, The Brevet creates songs that are cinematic and full of catchy hooks while blending the excitement of thunderous percussion, electric guitars and a touch of R&B swagger.

With a sound reminiscent of Mumford & Sons and Coldplay, the band has amassed a loyal fanbase, which is exponentially growing after their incredible performances at major festivals including South by Southwest and Rock the Boat. Their latest album, "LEGS" (short for "Like Every Great Story") embodies all of their trademark elements of memorable tale-from struggle and tension to resolution and success, with a thread of relentless optimism all throughout. It serves as a reminder to never give up, even when 'the going gets tough.'

Opening for The Brevet is New Wave Crave, a Reno-based high-energy 80's tribute band that's more 80's than 1980! Bring the generations together to sweat the dance floor with popular songs by The Cure, U2, Depeche Mode, The Smiths, David Bowie and more.

New Wave Crave takes the stage at 7 p.m. with the The Brevet to follow at 8 p.m.

Joshua Frodge was arrested on the following charges: Possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving with a suspended drivers license, driving with suspended registration.

Gina Underwood was arrested on the following charges: Possession of a controlled substance, possession of a dangerous drug without a prescription.

According to the arrest report, deputies were patrolling in the area of College Parkway and Richards Boulevard when they observed a vehicle with Calif. plates leaving a residential neighborhood. Deputies followed the vehicle and conduced a records check on the plate.

Dispatch advised the registration for the vehicle was suspended. Deputies conducted a traffic stop and made contact with the driver, identified as Frodge, and the passenger, Underwood.

The pair told deputies neither one of them had any identification. Deputies noticed a clear plastic baggie on the center console, and asked what was inside.

Frodge took the baggie and unrolled it, revealing a clear crystal like substance at the bottom. Deputies asked him again what was inside the baggie, and he stated he did not know.

Deputies took possession of the baggie, which was later confirmed to contain methamphetamine, and asked both Frodge and Underwood to step out of the car.

Deputies read Frodge his miranda rights, and he declined to speak with deputies further. When deputies asked Underwood about the drugs, she said she had no idea they were in the car. Deputies pointed out the drugs were within reach of both she and Frodge, and were visible in the center console. She said again she had no idea they were there.

Deputies told her she was under arrest, but did not handcuff her because she was holding her dog. Animal control came and took possession of the dog.

— A 38-year-old Carson City man was arrested in the 1000 block of S. Carson Street for domestic battery early Friday morning after fighting with his twin brother.

According to the police report, deputies were dispatched to a local motel on reports of what sounded like a fight coming from one of the rooms. Dispatch advised the man and his twin brother were registered to the room.

On scene, deputies located the room and knocked on the door. The man answered the door and appeared short of breath and agitated as he spoke. He had fresh abrasions and blood on his face and mouth area, the report stated, and had red marks consistent with a physical struggle on his mid and lower back.

The brothers were separated and interviewed. The twin brother was in the living room, and also had red abrasions as well as blood and swelling to his face, right ear, left eye, scalp and mouth. He also had a cut on his left hand.

The brother was reluctant to face deputies and speak with them. He told deputies there had been a fight between himself and the man because the man was heavily intoxicated and couldn’t find his cell phone, and wanted the brother to help him find it. He said the man became aggressive and attacked him, and he fought back and defended himself. He said the fight ended and he went back to his room.

Deputies spoke with the man, who refused to talk to deputies. He said there was no fight, and that the fresh blood and abrasions on him were just “color.” He appeared heavily intoxicated, slurred his speech and had an odor of alcohol coming from his person as he spoke.

— A 32-year-old Sun Valley man was arrested in the 3400 block of Carson Street for hit and run with property damage and careless driving after running his semi-truck into a pillar of the entrance cover.

According to the report, deputies arrived on scene to a local hotel where they met with a manager who was with the Carson City Fire Department, assessing the building. The manager told deputies that at around 1:40 p.m., a semi-truck hit the south east pillar of the entrance cover, which was visibly moved a few inches on the base. The damage was estimated to be approximately $20,000-30,000, but could potentially be more if there was additional structural damage.

Employees on scene stated there was a loud bang with lots of smoke and dust in the air. Several other witnesses on scene had seen the crash as well, and stated there were two men inside the truck.

Deputies contacted the truck’s company, who’s logo was visibly printed on the side of the truck, and they advised none of their trucks were showing in Carson City. However, they had “brokered out a truck” to a tire company.

At around 4:41 p.m., the manager of the hotel had located the truck at a local tire store, which had damage to its right side.

Deputies responded to the location and met with the driver of the vehicle, who denied his truck had been in a crash. He said he turned around at the hotel, and that he never hit anything. The passenger also denied anything happened. The deputies told the men they did not believe this was true considering multiple people from inside the hotel heard the bang, and there was smoke and dust from the pillar.

After the passenger was read his miranda rights, he told deputies he works for a temp agency and was assigned to assist the Sun Valley man. He was in the passenger side when the Sun Valley man drove into the parking lot of the hotel at a high rate of speed, struck the pillar, and kept driving. He told the man they should stop since they hit the building. The man allegedly replied, if they wanted him to stop they can come outside and chase them down.

According to the report, deputies spoke with employees at the tire shop, who advised the truck had been parked there since 1:30 p.m., and that they had struck a curb which damaged a tire. Deputies checked the damage on the truck, and noticed scrapes on the right side and damage to one of the right side tires.

The Sun Valley man was taken into custody for hit and run with property damage and careless driving.

Bail: $862
