A 36-year-old Carson City man wanted on a felony warrant in connection with a Dec. 11 residential burglary of a Ridgefield Drive home was taken into custody Thursday after turning himself into detectives, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.
Keith DeWayne Gearhart was arrested in Reno and taken to Carson City jail. He is charged with burglary. In addition he had a felony fugitive from justice warrant out of Santa Rosa, Calif. and a misdemeanor failure to appear traffic warrant out of Reno Township Court.
