Detectives with the Regional Crime Suppression Unit say a man faces several charges including assault with a deadly weapon.Â
On Sunday, September 13, Washoe County Sheriff’s Office deputies say they responded to a residence on Conti Circle in Sun Valley in response to a report from residents of an argument via text with 43-year-old Jonathan Hause in which Hause threatened the residents. The victims then reported Hause drove to the home following that text exchange. The victims stated they were inside their home when they heard a vehicle’s engine rev, and they heard popping sounds. The victims ran outside, and reported that Hause then got out of his vehicle and raised a semi-automatic handgun in their direction.
When deputies arrived on scene, a pickup was at the residence, but the legal owner, Hause, was not. Deputies say they found a bullet hole, and bullet, in the siding of the home. Upon further investigation, deputies say they determined Hause shot through his truck’s window striking the home. They say he also determined Hause got out of his vehicle and threatened the victims with the weapon, then fled the scene.
Hause was located and arrested by RCSU detectives on September 17, 2020.
He faces felony charges including assault with a deadly weapon, discharging a firearm from a vehicle in a congested area, discharging a firearm into an occupied structure, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. He also faces several drug charges.
