Today, Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Deputies, the Washoe County Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team and Deputies assigned to the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit, located and arrested a suspect in an assault with a deadly weapon and child endangerment incident that occurred in Fish Springs, a small, rural community approximately 150 miles north of Reno in Washoe County.

Patrol Deputies, along with SWAT, K-9 and the Regional Aviation Enforcement Unit (RAVEN), responded to an address on Fish Spring Road on a report of a person causing an altercation and using a firearm to attempt to stop vehicles from driving near his residence.  Traffic near the residence was more than normal due to the High Sierra Fly-In; an aviation event, which introduced several thousand participants and spectators to the area.
