A California man wanted on a felony fugitive warrant was arrested Saturday by Carson City deputies after he allegedly head-butted a hotel manager when he was informed that pets weren't allowed in rooms.
The victim told sheriff deputies that he approached the suspect after seeing a dog in the room. The suspect began to yell at the victim and got within a few inches of his face, and then, struck him in the face with his forehead, according to the arrest report.
The victim said he fell back after the hit to the face. He told deputies that the suspect grabbed his throat and threw him into the hotel room door. The victim told officers that once he was thrown into the hotel room door, he hit the suspect's forearm to release his grip so he could leave the room.
The suspect was taken into custody after the manager signed a citizens arrest form and statement. A warrant check of the suspect concluded that he was wanted by the California Department of Corrections. He was booked on a single misdemeanor battery charge and a no bail felony warrant from the California Department of Corrections.
