ORIGINAL STORY:Â
The Carson City Sheriff's Office (CCSO) has arrested one more person linked to a series of crimes that originally began on November 18 in the Goni Canyon area of Carson City.
A suspect, Dillon Grimes, reported that he had been robbed and beaten in the area during the early morning hours on the 18th. CCSO says they now report that Grimes has been arrested on a variety of charges in Sparks and was named a suspect in the series of events in Carson City.
CCSO says Grimes was actually selling stolen guns during the incident at Goni Canyon. When the sale did not go as planned, Grimes was battered and the weapons were taken by two other suspects. All of the stolen guns were from previous vehicle burglaries in the Sparks area. Sparks Police located Grimes on Friday and took him into custody on charges related to their investigations.
CCSO, along with Sparks detectives, interviewed Grimes and found that he was linked to over 20 other vehicle burglaries that happened in Carson City during the week of Thanksgiving. All the burglaries in Carson City happened on 7th, 8th, Nevada and Curry Streets.Â
On November 27, Michael Segna, one of the suspects that battered Grimes, was taken into custody in the Voltaire Canyon area for his part in the Goni Canyon event. The next day, Mauricio Gomez was arrested as he hid in a closed Carson City Tattoo store on East Williams Street. Both were charged with felony battery with a deadly weapon. Bail was set at $50,000.
Grimes was charged with burglary, possession of stolen property, prohibited person in possession of a gun and unauthorized use of a credit card.
CCSO says the investigation is still ongoing.
