A 20-year-old man was arrested Monday on multiple felony charges including two warrants, a Carson City sheriff's deputy said. Cahner Stephen Yews, of Gardnerville, was taken into custody at 11:16 a.m. in the area of Roop and John streets following a traffic stop.
According to the arrest report, officers stopped the vehicle, occupied by four people, because it had suspended plates.
Yews, who appeared nervous, identified himself using another name and provided a birthdate but told the officer he could not remember his Social Security number. The deputy called Douglas County dispatch and gave them the information the 20-year-old man gave.
Dispatch stated it belonged to an actual person who resides in Douglas County and provided a photo of the man and it was not the same person that was detained, according to the arrest report.
The officer told the man this and he admitted he had lied about his information and then gave his true name, Cahner Yews, who had a felony arrest warrant from Douglas County as well as an active absconder warrant from Nevada State Parole and Probation.
Yews was taken into custody where he was being held without bail on the felony parole warrant and the Douglas warrant. His bail amount for the Carson City charge of providing a false ID to avoid prosecution: $10,000.
