A 21-year-old Carson City man was arrested on a felony charge of giving false identification to avoid being arrested following a fight Tuesday night at Centennial Park, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.
Manuel Arroyo Jr., was taken into custody following an investigation into the incident that happened at around 6:30 p.m. Several others were arrested on lesser charges, including a 24-year-old for obstruction, and three others for consuming alcohol and being underage.
According to the arrest report, deputies were called to the park after a report of a fight and possible stabbing. Deputies arrived and determined there had been a fight with the suspects sustaining minor injuries of cuts, skinned knuckles and dirty clothing. A knife was recovered but it wasn’t used to stab anyone, according to a Carson City sheriff’s sergeant at the scene.
Arroyo and others were questioned over what they were doing at the park and who had been fighting. As deputies gathered information to determine who was involved, Arroyo gave officers false information about his identity. He was arrested on the felony charge and a misdemeanor charge of probation violation. Arroyo’s bail was set at $13,000.
The 24-year-old suspect continued throughout the interview process to not be truthful with officers and was subsequently arrested for obstructing. His bail was set at $412. Officers arrested three others involved in the altercation for all being underage and having consumed alcohol. Bail: $242 each.
