A 43-year-old Carson City man was arrested Friday on a charge of sexual assault, according a criminal complaint filed by the Carson City District Attorney's Office.
John Allen Teifel was arrested at 6:14 p.m. in the 300 block of East William Street by a Carson City Sheriff's Office Special Enforcement Team deputy after a warrant was issued earlier in the day for his arrest.
The criminal complaint was filed by Mark Krueger, assistant district attorney for Carson City. It alleges the assault happened on May 25 in the 3200 block of Imperial Way and involved a victim who was "mentally or physically incapable of resisting or understanding the nature" of the accused's conduct.
Carson Now has learned that alcohol was a factor in the alleged assault. Teifel is being held on $25,000 bail.
