Within 24 hours of alerting the public to be vigilant, our community members and law enforcement officers worked together. Now, the person of interest sought in connection to a shooting, and the suspect in an attempted catalytic converter theft is in custody.

PRESS RELEASE: Washoe County Sheriff’s Office K9, Patrol deputies arrest person of interest sought in Cold Springs shooting, attempted catalytic converter theft

Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Patrol deputies and members of the K9 Unit arrested Dustin Dewey shortly before 8:30 a.m. on August 28, 2021, thanks to alert residents in the Red Rock area.

Multiple community members called Washoe County dispatch at 7:00 a.m. to report a suspicious person fitting Dewey’s description in the area.

Nearly a dozen Washoe County Sheriff’s Office personnel were sent to the neighborhood.

Dustin Dewey was located utilizing a drone assigned to the K9 Unit and donated by Washoe County K9 Partners. The Sheriff’s Office employs state of the art technology whenever possible to ensure the safety of law enforcement personnel and members of our community. The drone located Dewey in the open space between Red Rock Road and the Red Rock Pits, about 100 yards away from residences on Pathfinder Drive.

Dewey was in possession of a gun. He was taken into custody without incident.

At this time Dewey is charged with one felony count of eluding; one felony count of attempted vehicle burglary; one felony count of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit; and one misdemeanor count of leaving the scene of an accident. This is an active investigation, and more charges are pending.

Team Honors Sgt. Van Der Wall & K9 Boomer

From the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office:
A K9 Unit tradition: Today the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office K9 Team, along with members of the Northern Nevada Interdiction Task Force including Reno Police officers, surprised WCSO Sergeant Sam Van Der Wall.

Sgt. Van Der Wall recently promoted, and his K9 partner, Boomer, retired. They leave pretty big paws to fill as the Van Der Wall-Boomer duo had some amazing busts getting drugs off the streets of Northern Nevada.

Today, the team held a surprise ceremony and gifted Sgt. Van Der Wall these plaques.
