The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office, with the help of other assisting agencies, arrested a suspect in the March 12 kidnapping of Naomi Irion.

Troy Driver, 41, of Fallon, is being held on charges of kidnapping. In addition, deputies searched a home in Fallon and found a truck that matches the description of the one LCSO had previously believed the suspect in the case may have been driving.

Churchill County Sheriff Richard Hickox reported by social media that on March 25, Churchill County Sheriff's Office assisted the Lyon County Sheriff's Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigations in the service of a search and seizure warrant at an address within Churchill County. During this time a portion of Alcorn Road was blocked off to through traffic for the safety of the public and the Law Enforcement Officers serving the warrant.

Hickox said no further details about the incident, nature of the search warrant, or any items of evidence that might have been collected can be discussed or released at this time as this is an active and open investigation.

As of 7:45 p.m. Friday, LCSO said Naomi has still not been located and they are continuing to search for her and for more information in the case.

A public search scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday morning starting at the parking lot west of Love's Travel Center will take place as planned,

For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
