Upon arrival Carson City Sheriff's Office investigators met with the front desk attendant who said the man in question, Westman, was staying there and was using a fraudulent card to pay for the room. The front desk attendant told the officer the room was registered to a female but the male used a Visa credit card to re-book a different room for a different female, the arrest report states.

Officers spoke with a Colorado Springs officer who was also investigating identify theft that happened to involve Westman and the Visa credit card used to re-book the room. The officer gave information about the victim and informed Carson City officers that the Visa was opened with Cabela's and there were two other credit cards opened up this week under the victim's name, the arrest report states.

Carson City officers met with Westman in the room. He agreed to go to the hotel lobby so he could clarify his involvement with the front desk. While at the front desk officers met with the female who was renting a room that was paid using the Cabela's credit card. The tenant in the room said that around 12:30 p.m. she was speaking to the front desk person about rebooking the room but she was $10 short.

At 8:53 Sunday evening, the Carson City Sheriff’s Office was notified of a violent threat at the Olive Garden Restaurant on South Carson Street.

Initial reports indicated that a man, later identified as David Paul Lane had entered the business alone and at some point became agitated, then confronted the manager and staff with a loaded semi-automatic pistol.

Lane is reported to have drawn his pistol in the restaurant while walking through the dining area.

He demanded to go back to the kitchen area. Efforts to calm Lane were unsuccessful. He confronted a second manager and chamber a round into the gun (ejecting a round that was already in the chamber) and threatened to shoot if not allowed in the kitchen.

Lane walked through the kitchen area and then left the building. Patrons in the restaurant were being evacuated and one captured the license plate of Lane's vehicle, registered to a Douglas County address on Mica Way. Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputies were alerted and were able to arrive at Lane's residence before he returned. After a physical confrontation, Lane was taken into custody. The weapon used at the restaurant was located in Lane's possession at the time of arrest. He was transported to the Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center for treatment. Lane was released from the hospital and booked into the Carson City Jail.

Lane has been booked on two charges of Assault with a Deadly Weapon (Felony, $20,000 each bail), Burglary with a Weapon (Felony, $40,000 bail), Carrying a Concealed Weapon (Misdemeanor, $137 bail), and Battery (Misdemeanor, $137 bail). Lane is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, July 24th at 9:00 a.m..

David Lane has one prior arrest in Carson City resulting from a traffic infraction in December 2010. At the Carson City Sheriff’s Office, there were no records of violence or mental health data on file.

The Sheriff’s Office would like to commend the staff and patrons of the Olive Garden Restaurant for their preparedness, efforts to calm the suspect, and their evacuation of the area without causing any injury to innocent persons. Further, without the rapid reporting of the license plate number, this incident could not have been resolved so quickly.

CARSON CITY – Nevada ranked 30^th among the states in how it protects animals in 2011, scoring only 25 points out of a possible 66, The Humane Society of the United States said in a national report released today.

Ranking first with 46 points was California, followed by New Jersey and Oregon with 40 points. In last place was South Dakota with eight points, with Idaho second to last with nine points.

Courtesy of The Humane Society of the United States

Nevada improved its score from 2010, but the organization noted that the state’s laws regarding the possession of dangerous wild animals are weak. Nevada ranked 30^th in 2010 but had 24 points, one fewer than in the 2011 report card.

The third annual rating evaluates the states on a wide range of animal protection laws, including animal cruelty codes, equine protection standards, wildlife issues, animals in research and farm animal policy.

“Our Humane State Ranking provides a big-picture look at how states are faring on animal-protection policies, and how they rank in the nation,” said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The HSUS. “There are some states that are adopting innovative and strong policies to protect animals, while others are lagging badly. Animal protection is a serious matter for tens of millions of Americans, and we hope state lawmakers fulfill their moral responsibility and help us crack down on abuses.”

Nevada’s ranking was unchanged despite several new measures approved by the 2011 Legislature to further protections for animals.

They included Senate Bill 223, sponsored by Sen. Shirley Breeden, D-Henderson, and Sen. David Parks, D-Las Vegas, known as “Cooney’s Law” after a dog brutally killed with a box cutter, was the highest profile animal welfare measure considered during the session. The new law makes willful or malicious cruelty to pet animals a felony on the first offense. Under previous law, a felony charge could be issued only after a third act of cruelty.

Also winning approval were:

- Senate Bill 226, sponsored by Sen. Sheila Leslie, D-Reno, Parks, and Assemblywoman Peggy Pierce, D-Las Vegas, requiring the wildlife commission to regulate leg hold traps in congested areas

- Senate Bill 299, sponsored by Sen. Mark Manendo, D-Las Vegas, requiring commercial dog breeders to be licensed and to have regular county inspections, bans the stacking of cages and the use of wire floors in puppy mills, and prohibits the breeding of dogs younger than 18 months of age. The bill applies only to commercial breeders selling dogs as pets, and exempts hobby breeders.

- Senate Bill 102, proposed by the Senate Natural Resources Committee, imposes civil penalties for illegally killing or possessing a trophy big game mammal, or for illegally killing or possessing certain wildlife species.

Not all measures were successful.

Senate Bill 364, which proposed to ban horse tripping, a practice of roping a horse’s legs used in some non-sanctioned rodeos, failed to win approval in the Senate Natural Resources Committee. Supporters of the bill, including the Humane Society, said the practice is cruel and does occur in some non-advertised rodeos in Nevada.

Opponents said the proposal was an attempt to open the door to banning other types of rodeo events, and ultimately, rodeos themselves.
