A 33-year-old Carson City man was arrested early Saturday morning at 1:40 a.m. in the 400 block of West Winnie Lane on charges of misdemeanor first offense domestic battery, misdemeanor destruction of property, and misdemeanor resisting arrest, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.
According to the arrest report, deputies were responding to a possible residential burglary in progress in the 400 block of West Winnie Lane at 1:35 a.m. The reporting party (RP) told dispatch that a male subject was banging on the door to his residence, demading entry. The RP then reported the subject started to bang on the window adjacent to the front door and broke the glass.
When deputies arrived, they saw two men -- including the suspect -- wrestling on the ground, the report said. The suspect then got up off the ground and ran. Deputies gave chase, eventually catching up to the suspect in the 200 block of Jeanell and detaining him, the report said.
The arrest report stated that the suspect was the RP's brother, who was staying at the residence temporarily and had left earlier in the evening following an argument between the two. The suspect returned later grossly intoxicated and demanded to be let back in the home, the report said.
After the suspect broke the window, the RP confronted him. A scuffle ensued after the suspect swung at the RP with a closed fist. The punch was dodged, the report stated, and the pair fell to the ground where they wrestled each other until deputies arrived.
The RP suffered no injuries from the scuffle, the report stated.
Once detained, the suspect was observed to have superficial cuts to his fingers and right wrist, the report stated. The suspect was also observed to have a strong odor of alcohol on his breath, according to the arrest report, and he refused a breathalyzer test.
The suspect was then transported to the hospital for treatment of his injuries, the report said, and for medical clearance.
Once medically cleared, the report stated, the suspect refusd to stand up and instead laid on the floor. He refused to walk and deputies had to physically escort the suspect to the patrol vehicle, the report said.
The suspect continued to resist at the patrol car, the report said, by lodging his left leg under the door frame, requiring deputies to physically push him into the vehicle's rear seat. He was then transported to the Carson City Jail for booking. Bail: $3,000.
