The Carson City Sheriff's Office needs your help finding a man who broke into a home earlier this month and assaulted the homeowner inside a back room.

Deputies say the suspect broke into the home in the area of Colorado and Kansas Streets on May 13th. 

They say when the homeowner returned home for lunch, he found the suspect in a back room and the two men got into a fight, and that's when the suspect ran away.

There are no photos of the suspect, but deputies do describe the white man as having an average build, in his 40s, and about 6' feet tall.

He was also bald and may have a tattoo on his right forearm. Lastly, he was wearing a red t-shirt and blue jeans.

He may have suffered minor facial cuts from the fight with the homeowner. Deputies say he was holding his chest when he fled the scene.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Carson City Sheriff’s Office, Dispatch (775) 887-2677, Investigation Division, Detective Darin Riggin (775)283-7853, Investigations Sergeant Daniel Gonzales (775)283-7850 or Secret Witness (775)322-4900. A $1,000 reward is being offered.
