A 41-year-old Carson City (white) man was arrested Thursday morning on felony assault with a deadly weapon and brandishing after allegedly chasing his co-worker with a firearm following a physical altercation.

Deputies spoke with the owner of a local business, who stated they had a “bumpy” morning and stated one employee had pulled a handgun on another employee during a “heated argument.”
The driver, later identified as Kevin Rice, complied with directions and advised he had a pistol in his right front pocket.

Inside the vehicle, deputies located an AR-15 rifle with an inserted 30 round magazine on the rear floorboard within reach of the driver’s seat. Deputies also observed a tan, full-sized handgun tucked into the back pocket of the front passenger’s seat, positioned in a way for the driver to reach it, according to the report.

Rice said he pulled a .380 pistol from his right pants pocket and charged towards the co-worker he had fought with, who was now backing up. He said he continued to pursue the co-worker to keep a line of sight on him while another co-worker tried to stop him.

Rice stated he was only trying to keep him in view, but admitted to following him around one of the work trucks several times until the co-worker was able to escape.

Deputies asked Rice about the loaded rifle and other pistol in his vehicle being positioned for quick use, and Rice stated he “always keeps the weapons in such a manner because he shoots often,” according to the report.

The deputy stated he spoke with Rice again, and explained that he would be arresting him, and “sympathized with Rice as to his frustrations,” but that the evidence provided probable cause to arrest him. Rice’s fiancee arrived on scene and was allowed to collect the other firearms from the vehicle, and the deputy “allowed them a few moments of private conversation” before transporting Rice to jail, according to the report.

He was taken into custody without incident, and his CCW permit was confiscated pending the outcome of the criminal proceedings.”
