 A Sparks man who broke into a Skyline Ranch home on July 23 with intent to commit theft while the residents were working in their yard received the maximum penalty on Tuesday. 

Oscar Daniel Montalvo, 32, received 4-10 years in prison and was ordered to pay $1,700 in restitution.

Montalvo has a history of theft convictions and was sentenced to 10 years in prison in connection with possession of a stolen vehicle in 2007 and his most recent conviction was November 2019 in Washoe County, according to the Nevada Department of Corrections.  

“Your criminal history is one where you have abused other people,” said Douglas County District Court Judge Tod Young. “You rely on being a criminal, but you’re not a very good criminal.” 

• A woman who failed to return a rented vehicle to the Carson City Enterprise may be charged with either a misdemeanor or a felony at her April 12 sentencing hearing; it is up to the court to decide. 

Jessica Gabrielle Glover was arrested Jan. 21 after a license plate reader identified the reported orange Hyundai from Enterprise. Deputies spotted the vehicle and Glover in the parking lot of the Minden Maverick, where she was taken into custody.

• A woman, who allegedly had a loaded hypodermic with her child in the back seat, was denied release on her own recognition Tuesday to handle a warrant out of Idaho. 

Charlene Rae Dietrich, 37, was taken into custody Dec. 8 after a deputy spotted her vehicle parked near Jake’s Wetlands at 1 a.m. During a check on her and the child, due to the frigid conditions, it was learned Dietrich had seven warrants, but none were extractable. She was taken into custody after deputies reported finding both heroin and methamphetamine in the vehicle. 

She pleaded guilty to the Dec. 8 crimes and is waiting a sentencing, pending a child endangerment psychological evaluation for risk to reoffend.

• After using methamphetamine for just shy of a decade, Luke Kaiser Johnson, 25, pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance Tuesday and is facing 1-4 years in prison, but may receive diversion instead. 

Kraiser was arrested Feb. 2 for a suspended sentence violation. 

“I relapsed right before and all it did was remind me that I don’t want to do this anymore,” he said.

Douglas County District Court Judge Tod Young ordered Kaiser to attend Drug Court with supervision prior to his sentencing.

“I want it to be a tool for him and for him to take advantage of the opportunity,” said Young.
