A man wanted by the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation for Parole Violations and for questioning is several other cases has been arrested after a days long search.
Authorities initially revealed they were looking for 44-year-old JD Murray on November 13. He has since been located in a joint operation between the Carson City Sheriff's Office, the Northern Nevada Repeat Offender Program and Regional Crime Suppression Unit.
Murray had an active felony warrant out of the State of Nevada Department of Parole and Probation, and probable cause for arrest existed for a crime he was believed to have committed in Sparks, the Carson City Sheriff's Office said in a press release.
After locating a vehicle and positively identifying Murray as the driver on November 15, Murray fled from Carson City Sheriff's Office Deputies.
As a result of the joint operation’s surveillance effort, Murray was located and arrested at about 2:45 p.m. on November 16 at the 3400 hundred block of Airport Road in Carson City, along with Amanda Barham, who authorities say was actively assisting Murray in attempting to evade law enforcement.
Three firearms were recovered during Murray’s arrest, two handguns and a semi-auto shotgun. Both of the pistols were stolen, the CCSO says, one out of Reno and the other out of Sacramento, California.
Murray is being booked into the Carson City Jail for a parole and probation warrant, three counts of ex-felon in possession of a firearm, possession of a controlled substance, and two counts of possession of stolen property.
Amanda will be booked into the Carson City jail on charges of aiding and abetting, and possession of a controlled substance.
