SPARKS, Nev. (AP) - Police have arrested one of two men suspected of throwing rocks and breaking windows at courthouses in Reno and Sparks. A second suspect remains at large.
Sparks police said Monday they were looking for two men who damaged a window at Sparks Justice Court next door to the Sparks police headquarters on East Prater Way at about 1:14 a.m. Friday.
Police said they later determined that shortly after that incident, the same car and suspects were observed throwing rocks and breaking windows at Washoe County district court in downtown Reno. Damaged caused there was estimated at $1,300.
A joint investigation by the county sheriff’s office, Reno and Sparks police resulted in the arrest on Tuesday of 23-year-old Derek Kuchler, Sparks police said.
Kuchler was being held in the Washoe County Jail Wednesday on $5,000 bond on two counts of destroying property and one count of violating conditions of his release on an unrelated charge.
It’s not clear if he has a lawyer or will be appointed one.
