“It was patrol initiated and the guys did a really good job,” said Furlong.

The black 1991 Honda Accord found Saturday was stripped and inoperable. That vehicle was reported stolen Oct. 9 from a Menlo Drive address.

He was asked about his connection to the Sheffield Manor address. He stated he knew Cavello and claimed to be friends with her. He stated he stayed there sometimes and admitted to removing parts from the black 1991 Honda at that location.

He initially said the car belonged to Cavello and was a “parts” car and initially denied stealing it. He stated it was Cavello’s car and did not know where it came from. He was asked about the black Honda that was recovered from in front of her apartment. He initially denied involvement with any other Honda thefts. Officers told him that there was CCTV footage of the theft from the apartment complex. He then admitted he stole that vehicle as well. He denied stealing any other vehicles said he did not know of the location of other vehicles.

He admitted to the vehicle theft Oct. 9 from the Menlo Drive address and admitted to stealing a red Honda Saturday from Walmart, which was recovered at a Hot Springs Road address.

The case remains under investigation, said Furlong.

Democratic legislators this year are again lining up bills that would outlaw texting while driving and, in some cases, ban hand-held phone use while driving.
They’re continuing efforts in the 2009 session from Sen. Shirley Breeden, D-Henderson, whose text-banning bill died in committee. She’s sponsoring a similar bill this year.

How (un)safe is driving while texting?
The flurry of pre-session activity comes as the state amps up an anti-distracted-driving message.
No Phone Zone Nevada is a recent initiative aimed at curbing distracted driving, which has accounted for about six percent of accidents in the five years between 2005 and 2009, according to the state’s Department of Transportation. In the same span, the department marked distracted driving as the cause of 53 deaths statewide.
Nationwide, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 5,500 people died in 2009 alone due to distracted driving.
That isn’t cell phone use alone. In Nevada, the term can apply to using a cell phone, applying make-up, fumbling with a radio or CD player, reading, eating, or smoking behind the wheel and even attending to needs of children.
But Erin Breen, executive director of the UNLV Transportation Research Center, said that texting is “by far the worst.”
She also said that hand-held or hands-free use of a cell phone doesn’t matter:
“All the research tells me hands free versus hand-held has no difference at all. It’s not the act of having something in your hand, it’s that your mind is elsewhere.”
Nonetheless, Breen said the current political environment probably won’t condone a total cell phone ban.
“I’m so torn with the hands-free thing because I know they’re no safer…but we also have to be realistic about what’s possible,” she said.
Opponents of such a ban have, in the past, mainly argued that such bans legislate what police cannot enforce.
Indeed, some transportation researchers say reported instances of distracted driving may be lower than actual rates because it’s difficult to prove for officers, and drivers may avoid reporting it themselves.
Regardless, Breen says a ban would curb unsafe behavior because the majority of citizens want to follow the law no matter the chance of being caught breaking it.
Past efforts also failed
This debate is nothing new. Former state Sen. Terry Care, D-Las Vegas, tried to legislate against distracted driving in general during the 2001 legislative session.
He testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, bringing forth evidence that cell phone use increases the chance of accidents.
But he ran up against heavy opposition from other legislators.
Like Care’s bill, Breeden’s more-recent effort also faced opposition and ultimately died in committee.
Further stabs at reform will have to come through the Legislature. A state law says that any regulation about cell phone use while driving has to originate from the legislature. An agency, board, commission or other part of government doesn’t have the power to do it.
The 76th Legislative session starts this Feb. 7.

A 49-year-old man was arrested Monday for a misdemeanor warrant and four other offenses including driving without proof of insurance, driving on a suspended license, open container and talking on a cell phone while driving, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.

According to the arrest report, a deputy was driving westbound on Highway 50 near Brown Street. He observed a white Chevrolet truck in the number two lane driving westbound. The driver of the vehicle was talking on a cell phone held up to his left ear, the arrest report states.

The deputy stopped the vehicle and spoke with the driver who presented an Arizona driver’s license that said he was from Yuma, Ariz. He was unable to provide the deputy with a current proof of insurance for the vehicle.

A computer check showed his license was suspended out of Arizona. He also had a contempt of court warrant issued out of Carson City Justice court that was confirmed. He was arrested at 4:55 p.m. While conducting inventory of the vehicle the officer located a flask containing alcohol in the front seat next to where the man was seated. Around two-thirds of the alcohol inside was consumed. Bail: $2,418.

In other arrests:
— A 31-year-old Sparks man was arrested Monday, 1:52 p.m. in the 500 block of East William Street for a misdemeanor contempt of court warrant issued out of Sparks Township Court. Bail: $2,500.

The deaths of two horses east of Carson City near Mound House is being investigated by the state of Nevada.
The Nevada Department of Agriculture reports one horse, which appeared to have been shot, was found dead Monday near Mound House in Lyon County.

Another horse, which appeared to have been shot with arrows and was near death, was found near the same area. The second horse was euthanized by a state agricultural enforcement officer.

The Department is requesting information about the circumstances surrounding the deaths. The Department is also offering a $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those responsible. Citizens should call Secret Witness at 775-322-4900 with any information.

Killing estray livestock is a felony punishable of up to five years in prison and a fine of $10,000.

As Nevada begins the transition from summer to fall, the Department is also reminding citizens to be cautious around all feral and estray horses and not to feed them.

“As more children and families are getting up earlier for school buses and sporting events, we are urging the public to be alert,” said Flint Wright, administrator of the Department’s Animal Industry Division. “This time of year, forage becomes scarce in the highlands and feral and estray horses are more commonly found in populated, urban areas.”

The Department urges citizens to keep an eye out and use caution around all feral and estray horses. Feeding the feral/estray horses encourages the animals to enter urban areas and is illegal.
