The Carson City and Lyon County Sheriff's Offices are asking for the public's help finding a wanted felon.
On Saturday, Carson City detectives received a tip on the location of a wanted felon, 53-year-old Jeffery Williams.
Williams is currently wanted on felony warrants out of Carson City, as well as one misdemeanor warrant.
Officials tried to stop Williams in his GMC pickup truck, but he immediately put his truck in reverse, then led officials on a chase through the hills of Lyon County, ending toward the river near Eureka Canyon. During the chase, Williams sped in the opposite lanes of traffic, and at one point allegedly attempted to hit a Lyon County deputy.
Eventually deputies found Williams' truck abandoned near the river, but were unable to locate him. Drones were deployed from Carson City and Lyon County deputies, with neither able to find any signs of movement.
A reward of $500 is being offered by Secret Witness for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of Williams.
The Carson City Sheriff's Office is asking that if you have seen Williams call Carson City Dispatch at (775) 887-2018.
