Summary - Mr. Dosen, owner of Bad
Boyz Inc. allegedly hired an illegal immigrant, named in report as last name
Garcia. Dosen was paying for Mr. Garcia's apartment and letting him drive his
car. Mr. Garcia allegedly struck a pedestrian on November 6th, 2005 and fled
the scene. Witnesses were able to recall the license plate from the vehicle.
The victim was inflicted with severe injury, and according to the report,
"she is being transferred from ICU to a private hospital. Two vertebrae
were damaged in the accident and had to be removed and replaced with a steel
cage. Her doctor feels she will probably never walk again but hopes she will be
able to sit up in a wheel chair after some time goes by."
At the time of this event, Mr.
Dosen was working for the Storey County Sheriff's office. It is our
understanding that hiring undocumented immigrants is illegal, and letting them
drive without a proper license and registration could be considered negligent behavior.
However, we are not aware of any disciplinary actions taken against Mr. Dosen
by the department.

DETAILS: On November 6, 2005 at 1800 hours I was contacted by Sgt. VANDIEST in
regards to a hit and run accident involving a pedestrian, later identified as
LYMAN. The accident occurred at about 1731 hours at the intersection of Plumas
and Glenda. The suspect vehicle had been followed by a witness and a Nevada
plate had been obtained from the vehicle.
I responded to Plumas and Glenda where I met with officer THOMPSON. He had
started the form 5, however very little information was available to him at the
time. An AOI was located in the crosswalk in the left through lane. The AOI was
placed there due to scuff marks left on the pavement from the pedestrian and a
small drop of blood on the white raised thermoplastic of the crosswalk. The POR
of the pedestrian was established by the blood left on scene by the pedestrian.
A field sketch was completed by me.
Witness DOYLE stated she was on Plumas when she observed the accident. The
suspect vehicle apparently swerved in an attempt to miss LYMAN but struck her
any way. The vehicle immediately took off leaving the scene. DOYLE stayed with
LYMAN until paramedics arrived.
Witness HEROLD stated he was on Glenda at the stop sign waiting for traffic to
clear. He observed the suspect vehicle strike LYMAN. LYMAN rolled up onto the
hood and windshield of the vehicle before falling to the ground. HEROLD stated
LYMAN was in the crosswalk at the time she was struck.
Witness TAYLOR observed LYMAN approach the crosswalk from Classic Residence.
She advised LYMAN was wearing dark clothes and started crossing. TAYLOR felt
LYMAN should have waited because there was too much traffic.
The involved vehicle was a black SUV with Nevada plate 900SFD. A witness,
CALLENDER, followed the vehicle and obtained the plate. The vehicle left the
scene NB on Plumas turning right to EB Plumb and the SB Lakeside where
CALLENDER stopped following and stopped to call 911 from the 76 gas station at
Plumb and Lakeside. The vehicle was last seen in the area of Virginia
Lake.
None of the witnesses could give a description of the driver of the suspect
vehicle.
LYMAN was WB in a marked crosswalk when she was struck. She was on the west
side of the NB left through lane when she was struck. LYMAN was returning to
the classic residence.
The vehicle R/O, DOSEN, was located by Officer KATRE. DOSEN advised he was in
the process of selling the vehicle to a past employee named Jesse Garcia. He
advised he received a telephone call just prior to officers arrival from
GARCIA, who advised he had been in an accident. GARCIA told him, he was on his
way home and was in an accident with a lady walking across the street. DOSEN
asked GARCIA if he had left the scene. GARCIA advised he had and DOSEN told him
to go home and stay there. DOSEN took officers to GARCIA's home address of 4959
Talbot #54, neither GARCIA or the vehicle were on scene. DOSEN stated the vehicle
was in his name pending the final payment, GARCIA had 11 payments to go. DOSEN
advised he would contact RPD immediately if the vehicle or GARCIA are located.
DOSEN does not have DOB or other information on GARCIA.
I went to Washoe medical Center where I located LYMAN, the pedestrian in ICU. I
was advised while her injuries are serious, they are not considered life
threatening at this time. She has a spine injury which will need surgery. My
business card was left on scene requesting a phone call if this changes.
I was again contacted by DOSEN in regards to GARCIA. GARCIA's apartment was
actually rented by him due to GARCIA's lack of credit in this country. DOSEN
went to the apartment and had the lock changed. He went back later to check for
possible information on GARCIA and discovered persons had entered through a
window. All personal property had been removed from the residence. DOSEN stated
he had heard through friends of GARCIA, he was headed for Mexico through
Arizona still in the vehicle. He stated he would contact if any further
information was obtained.
On November 15, 2005 at 1100 hours I contacted Washoe Medical Center in regards
to LYMAN. I was advised

she is doing better but is still
serious due to blood pressure problems. She is still in ICU.
On November 16, 2005 at 1200 hours the suspect vehicle was located in front of
2240 Lindley Way. The vehicle had been reported as abandoned by a citizen. The
vehicle had been at this location for approximately a week. This location is a
few blocks from where witness CALLENDER stopped following it. The vehicle was
towed to RPD evidence storage on Eureka street.
On November 23, 2005 I was contacted by family of Lyman. They reported she is
being transferred from ICU to a private hospital. Two vertebrae were damaged in
the accident and had to be removed and replaced with a steel cage. Her doctor
feels she will probably never walk again but hopes she will be able to sit up
in a wheel chair after some time goes by.
There was nothing of evidentiary value located in the vehicle. It was released
to the R/O. There is no further information available on the suspect and his
whereabouts are unknown.
There is no further at this time.
