A Carson City man with a felony warrant was arrested Thursday on suspicion of domestic battery and preventing a victim from using 911 to call for help, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.
The man was taken into custody at 2:21 p.m. in the 400 block of East Long Street. According to the arrest report, deputies were called to the area for a report of a domestic battery after dispatch advised there were multiple 911 calls. Carson Now is withholding the suspect’s name because of another investigation that involves a child.
The suspect told officers he went to the residence to visit his daughter and ex-wife who is the mother of their child. He told deputies the woman hit him in the head with a phone. He appeared to have light bruising on his forehead, according to the arrest report.
The victim told deputies the man attempted to grab their daughter. She said the suspect put his hand on her chest and pushed her back so she could not take the child. She told deputies she hit the man in the head with her cell phone while she was on the phone calling 911.
She said the man grabbed the phone and disconnected the line with 911 and gave the daughter back to his ex-wife. The victim said the man then took her phone and put in his truck and locked it. A witness who is the mother of the victim said she observed the man come into the house, grab the daughter and then push his ex-wife who then struck him in the head with the phone.
While deputies were interviewing the man, it was learned he had a confirmed felony warrant issued out of East Fork Township Court alleging that he unlawfully used the identification of someone to avoid prosecution. Bail: $9,274.
