The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office (LSCO) responded to a disturbance on Brookfield Ct. in Dayton just after 10 p.m. on Thursday, July 25.
Deputies were dispatched and soon identified the suspect as 49-year-old Paul Carnahan of Dayton. Initial reports revealed that Carnahan had left a residence armed with a knife and was suffering from multiple injuries.
Further investigation determined that Carnahan had allegedly battered a female subject before fleeing the scene. Given the circumstances, including his armed status and presence in a residential neighborhood, a shelter-in-place advisory was issued for residents.
The initial shelter-in-place advisory had prompted concerns among Dayton residents, particularly in the areas of Woodlake Circle, Brookfield, and Woodside, where Carnahan was witnessed wearing a black shirt and possibly bearing cuts on his neck, forehead, and wrists.
Deputies searched for Carnahan throughout the night. The following morning, at around 8:30 a.m. on Friday, July 26, deputies located and arrested Carnahan without further incident. He was treated for his injuries, transported to the Lyon County Jail, and booked on a charge of domestic battery.
The LCSO issued an update stating that Carnahan was apprehended and advised residents that the shelter-in-place warning was no longer in effect.
