The man then changed his story from earlier, now claiming the woman was in his vehicle 30 minutes before the traffic stop, the arrest report stated.Following a run of the truck’s VIN, the vehicle returned as registered to the suspect, according to the report.The man was placed into custody at 5:46 p.m. and transported to the Nye County Detention Center.Contact reporter Elijah Dulay at edulay@pvtimes.com</div></body>
