UPDATE: 6:15PM: An arrest has been made after a man had eluded Carson City sheriff's deputies in the area of Hawaii Circle. Andre Franklin, 21, was taken into custody at around 5 p.m. He was found in a home a few houses down on Hawaii Circle from where he was originally thought to be hiding. He was discovered by an officer trying to escape through a backyard.
Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong released the following information: At 1:37 p.m., the Sheriff’s Office responded to a domestic battery report at the 2000 block of Hawaii Circle in Carson City.
The victim reported by 911 that her ex-boyfriend, Andre Franklin, 21 years old, and his friend, Travis Kim, 25 years old, had come to her home following a domestic breakup on Wednesday evening. The victim reported that she was battered by Franklin both Wednesday evening and today, and that he was threatening her and in possession of a pistol. The victim fled from the residence with a child, but reported that Franklin and Kim were still inside her home. Information was obtained that both suspects had violent histories.
As officers arrived on Hawaii Circle, Deputies encountered a male (Travis Kim) fleeing from the back of the residence through a broken window. Following a foot pursuit, Kim was detained about two blocks from the scene. He reported that Franklin remained either in the house or in his nearby vehicle. Both the house and vehicle were secured for several hours, but Franklin was not located. Kim was arrested for a Parole and Probation violation (drugs).
After securing the victims residence, officers began a meticulous search of the area. At approximately 4:46 p.m., officers securing the area perimeter spotted Franklin attempting to flee from a nearby house that had been evacuated for safety concerns. Officers from multiple agencies converged on the home and forced entry, taking Franklin into custody.
There were no injuries reported during this incident, although Fire/Paramedic personnel did have contact with several neighboring residents. Approximately 4 residential blocks were closed to traffic and several homes evacuated during the 3.5 hour event.
At the time of this release, Franklin was anticipated to be charged with Domestic Battery and Ex-Felon (drugs) in possession of a firearm. Neither suspect has had prior contact with law enforcement in Carson City.
