State Police seeking witnesses to robbery on I-80 near Patrick

The Nevada State Police Investigation Division is seeking witnesses or anyone with information 

regarding a robbery on Sept. 26 near the Patrick off ramp on Interstate 80. 

On Friday, Sept. 26, at approximately 11:45 a.m., the Nevada State Police Investigation Division 

responded to a report of a robbery that occurred on eastbound I-80 at the scenic overlook area 

just prior to the Patrick off-ramp, between Reno and USA Parkway.​

The State Police said the driver of a white Ford Explorer was tending to a flat tire when another 

man, described as possibly White or Hispanic, approached and offered assistance. The driver of 

the Ford declined, and moments later was rendered unconscious. Upon regaining consciousness, 

the victim discovered that his belongings had been taken. He was able to call for assistance. 

Detectives responded to the scene, and the victim was transported to a regional hospital with 

non-life-threatening injuries.​

The Nevada State Police Investigation Division asks that anyone who may have witnessed this 

incident, was in the area of the I-80 eastbound overlook west of the Patrick off-ramp between 

10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., or who may have knowledge about the suspect, contact Detective 

Harrell at (775) 684-7453 or (775) 684-7428, reference case #25I000567.

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.
