According to the arrest report, officers responded to the area after a call for domestic battery. Officers met with a man in front of the apartment who said that he and Magnuson had been arguing about $200. He had fallen asleep and alleges the woman took the money from his pocket. He said at no time did he become physical with the woman.
Officers spoke with Magnuson, who stated the money was hers and she wanted it back. She said the victim grabbed her by the neck and slammed her into the wall outside. The officer asked to see the woman's neck but there weren't any marks, the arrest report states. He told the woman he didn't see any marks and she said that if that was the case, if she was going to jail, so was the man. The officer then asked if she made the story up and the woman replied "maybe," the arrest report states.
The officer learned through dispatch that the woman had a felony warrant for her arrest, possession of a controlled substance with $2,500 bail. She was taken into custody for the warrant.
— A 45-year-old Carson City man was arrested at 8:10 p.m. Dec. 27 in the 100 block of West Winnie Lane. Juan Rodriguez-Diaz faces a felony charge of possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor charges of possession of drug paraphernalia and violation of a suspended sentence.
According to the arrest report, officers with the Special Enforcement Team observed a man riding a bicycle without a front light in the 2000 block of North Carson Street.
As the man rode, officers recognized him from prior bike theft reports. He was riding a different bicycle from law enforcement's previous contacts with him a few weeks prior.
The officer pulled behind the man in the area of West Winnie and activated his lights. The man didn't stop. The officer activated his siren where the man stopped but didn't turn around and look at the officer. He then began to reach into his right side of his jacket where the officer saw a shiny object fly from the right side of his jacket toward the snow, the arrest report states.
The man told the officer he had purchased the bicycle from a thrift store. Dispatch advised the man was on Carson City Alternative sentencing supervision with an "obey all laws" condition.
The officer checked the area and found a glass methamphetamine pipe on top of hard packed snow. There was burnt white residue inside the pipe that appeared to be methamphetamine, the arrest report states. The snow was hard and the pipe did not appear to have been on the snow for any length of time, the arrest report states. The man denied he threw the pipe though there was enough suspected methamphetamine in the pipe to test.
Officers had made contact with the man a few weeks prior, locating him squatting in an abandoned home with other methamphetamine users, the report states. The man's additional probation condition was to return a victim's stolen bicycle to the sheriff's office by Dec. 24. The man stated he was going to give the bike he bought at the thrift store to the victim in place of the original bike, the arrest report states.
Bail: $4,632.
