Minden, NV – On August 20, at approximately 9:25 a.m., an off-duty Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) deputy spotted burglary suspect Sean Maxwell at the Tractor Supply store in Minden. The off-duty deputy knew that Maxwell was wanted as a suspect in several burglaries in Carson City. The off-duty deputy contacted DCSO dispatch and patrol deputies responded.
Maxwell was detained as he was leaving the Tractor Supply store, and it was determined that he had stolen several items from the store. Maxwell was transported to the Minden Jail where he was booked on the Carson City charges and shoplifting from Tractor Supply.
While Maxwell was being booked into the jail, DCSO was notified that the Cook’d Bar and Restaurant in Minden had been burglarized. Video surveillance and other evidence was located at Cook’d to establish that Maxwell is also suspected of committing that burglary.
