Pahrump Man Arrested After Wife Reports Late-Night Choking Incident

A Pahrump man was taken into custody late March 28 after his wife called 911 to report her husband had just choked her and she needed law enforcement. The arrest closed out in under 72 minutes from the first dispatch timestamp, producing two serious charges and a formal case number the same night.

The Nye County Sheriff's Office daily activity log places the initial call at approximately 9:54 p.m., with the incident location recorded as Majestic View Court near Lincoln Way. The caller stated her husband had choked her, then disconnected. Dispatchers left a callback message while patrol unit 1P17 staged for response. CALFIRE was coordinated to the scene alongside deputies, a standard protocol on domestic calls that allows medical evaluation and criminal investigation to run simultaneously.

By 11:04 p.m. a nurse was documented on scene. Two minutes later, at 11:06 p.m., the suspect was transported into custody. The log entry closed with the disposition "Arrest Adult" and case number 12600950.

The charges recorded in the dispatch log are 273.5PC and 245(A)(4)PC, corresponding to corporal injury on a spouse or intimate partner and assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury. Both carry felony-eligible exposure. Formal charging documents and court filings will establish the complete charge list and publicly identify the suspect as the case moves through Nye County's justice system; the daily activity log does not publish names.

The sequence captured in the log reflects the operational pattern the sheriff's office follows on domestic disturbance calls: a brief or disconnected 911 call, units staging while medical resources are requested, an on-scene assessment, and, when probable cause is established, a same-night arrest. The coordination with CALFIRE ensured injuries could be evaluated and documented before the subject was transported, steps that support both victim care and evidentiary integrity in court.

Anyone with information relevant to Case# 12600950 can contact the Nye County Sheriff's Office directly.
