The following people were booked into the Carson City Jail. All suspects are innocent until proved guilty in court:
- Christopher Yocum, 26, of Carson City, was taken into custody Friday afternoon on charges of gross misdemeanor false imprisonment and misdemeanor domestic battery (second offense).
Yocum's former girlfriend, who is pregnant, reported that he barged into her apartment and kicked down the bathroom door, threw her on a bed and forced her to the ground. At that point, she alleges Yocum stepped on her stomach. Lyon County Sheriff deputies detained Yocum and transferred him to Carson City. Bail was set at $7,500.

An officer was dispatched to the location on a report of a dispute over money. Upon arriving, the officer could hear a man and a woman in a hotel room arguing, with the female asking to leave and the male refusing until she gave him his money.
When questioned by the officer, Hansen said he was missing $2,000 out of his briefcase, and suspected that the victim had stolen it. But a search of all possessions in the room did not turn up the missing money. Bail was set at $2,500.
