A 30 year-old Carson City man was taken into custody early Saturday morning at 12:08 a.m. in the area of East Fifth Street and Airport Road for felony eluding police with endangerment following a brief car chase, a Carson City Sheriff’s deputy reported.

Austin Bitisillie had been pulled over in the vehicle he was driving for failing to obey a posted stop sign in the area of Carson Meadows and East Fifth Street. He was well known to Sheriff’s deputies with multiple prior law enforcement contacts, the arrest report said, including uses of force, aggressive behavior and attacking officers.

Bitisillie was also active in the Carson City Department of Alternative Sentencing (DAS) for driving under the influence (DUI), the report said.

Upon making contact with the suspect, a Sheriff’s smelled alcohol coming from the vehicle while standing at the driver’s side window. Bitisillie’s speech was observed to slurred, the report said, and his eyes were red and watery.

Bitisillie was instructed twice by law enforcement to turn off his vehicle, but he instead replied, “I can’t do that.” Then he put his vehicle into gear and fled the stop.

The chase reached speeds of about 70 miles per hour (mph) in a 40 mph zone as the vehicle crossed over the Fifth Street bridge over Interstate 580, the report said.

Moments later, Bitisillie’s vehicle crashed into a brick wall securing the waste water treatment facility. The suspect exited his vehicle and began running into the field west of Airport Road, the report said.

The deputy gave chase on foot and as he closed the distance, Bitisillie stopped running, turned and walked toward the officer with his fists clenched, the report said.

At that point, the deputy unholstered his taser and deployed it against Bitisillie, who fell backwards to the ground.

Bitisillie was ordered to roll over onto his stomach after the five-second taser prong cycles concluded. He also pulled one prong from his body, the report said, neutralizing the second cycle.

The deputy then attempted to roll Bitisillie over onto his stomach, but the suspect resisted, making comments like “You didn’t say please.” Following a brief struggle, the deputy was able to detain Bitisillie in handcuffs, at which point the suspect was heard commenting, “I’m f——ed.”

The deputy offered medical assistance to Bitisillie, who refused. No signs of any injuries were observed and the suspect did not complain of any pain or injury, either.

A preliminary breath test (PBT) was obtained from Bitisillie at the jail, yielding breath-alcohol content (BAC) of .248 percent. A DAS hold was placed on him as well for violating the terms of his probation.

Besides the felony charge, Bitisillie was also booked on the following misdemeanor offenses: driving with a revoked license, obstructing and resisting arrest, reckless driving, excessive speed, and second DUI. Bail: $20,000.

Pabor explained he did not have a valid driver’s license and that his registration was suspended, which was confirmed through dispatch.

A pat-down search on Paul led to the discovery of a rolled up dollar bill with white residue and a small baggie of suspected cocaine or methamphetamine.

A SET deputy informed Davis of his Miranda rights. Davis initially stated he lost a key chain by throwing it in the trash and that is why they were digging through the trash.

John Bullis column: What is obstructive conduct with IRS?

$

IRS investigated Carlo Marinello’s activities for years 2004 through 2009. In 2012 IRS charged him with violating several criminal tax statutes under Code Section 7212(a). That Section makes it a felony to corruptly or by force obstruct or impede the due administration of the Internal Revenue Code.

IRS claimed Marinello failed to keep corporate books and records, failed to provide his tax accountant with complete and accurate information, destroyed business records, hid income and paid employees with cash.

The jury trial judge did not tell the jury that it had to find he knew he was under investigation and that he intended to corruptly interfere with the investigation. The jury convicted Marinello on all counts.

He appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. That court found the Section did not require awareness of a particular IRS action or investigation. Since other Circuit Courts found otherwise, Marinello petitioned it all to the U.S. Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court does not agree to accept all of the appeals and only decides the cases it chooses to do.

IRA argued the Code Section did not require just a specific investigation, but included the routine work of the IRS, including the processing and review of tax returns.

The Supreme Court agreed with Mr. Marinello. It held the government must prove the taxpayer was aware of a pending tax proceeding like an audit or particular investigation, or if the taxpayer could reasonably foresee that such a proceeding would begin.

The basic question was whether Congress intended for the clause to include or applied to every administrative task IRS did. The court found the IRS’s broad reading of the Section was unwarranted when considered in the broader context of the Code.

It doubted if a taxpayer who paid a babysitter in cash without withholding taxes or failed to keep receipts for every charitable donation would expect a felony prosecution for tax obstruction. The court said the IRS must show that the proceeding was pending or at least foreseeable when the taxpayer engaged in obstructive conduct.

It would be best to not rely on this decision to act like Mr. Marinello did. I’m surprised the court did not find he could have expected problems with IRS.
