Carson Man Arrested in Luring Incident

Carson City Sheriff’s detectives have arrested a man as part of an investigation into three accused incidents involving confrontations between females and possible solicitations. June 9, a woman told detectives the driver of a white Dodge van followed her to the Jacksons gas station on East 5th. She says the man tried to talk her into sex with him and caused a scene inside the business, trying to get her to leave with him. Detectives identified the owner of the van, currently in custody at the Carson City jail on unrelated charges. He cooperated with detectives, saying a friend of his, 57-year-old Adam Autry, was in possession of the van. Detectives started searching for Autry and the van, and both were found at a gas station the afternoon of the 11th. Autry is charged with Attempted Kidnapping, Aggravated Stalking and Threats.
