deputies

Washoe County Sheriff’s Office deputies and a K9 team captured a suspect wanted for the armed carjacking of a woman who was leaving the Burning Man event late Tuesday afternoon.

A motorhome being driven recklessly through South Lake Tahoe and Stateline led law enforcement on a high-speed ride along Highway 50, over Spooner Summit and into the Carson Valley before it crashed into a building in Gardnerville, Nev.

At 10:30 p.m. Sunday, August 26, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office (DCSO) was alerted about the 1997 Airstream motorhome speeding through South Lake Tahoe, running red lights and traveling without headlamps on. They saw it as it crossed into Nevada traveling 55 mph in a 35-mph zone when an enforcement stop was initiated.

The Washoe County Sheriff's Office has announced they arrested a man who they believe was responsible for the Incline Village robbery of Wells Fargo Bank Friday.

A deputy was driving on the Mt. Rose Highway later that day and spotted the suspect and arrested him on robbery and drug possession charges.

Greg Bauer Roberts, 48, was booked into the Washoe County Jail where he is still being held as of Saturday morning. Bail has not been set.
