FROM POLICE UNION PRESIDENT TO POLICE UNION SCRUTINY: FORMER RENO CHIEF NANCE REMAINS AT CENTER OF CONTROVERSY

Former Reno Police Chief Kathryn Nance remains at the center of a major controversy involving the Reno Police Department.

Nance spent roughly 25 years with Stockton Police in California, eventually becoming deputy chief. She was also a finalist for Stockton police chief in 2022 before Stanley McFadden was selected.

But before joining management, Nance sat on the other side of the table.

She served as president of the Stockton Police Officers Association, representing Stockton’s rank-and-file officers.

Nance left Stockton in 2023 to become Reno’s first female police chief.

Earlier this year, Nance and five members of Reno Police leadership were placed on administrative leave amid investigations into alleged policy violations. Nance and two assistant chiefs were subsequently fired without cause.

The investigation involving Nance and other former command staff has continued, with administrative matters now being handled through Reno Police Internal Affairs.

In an ironic reversal from her Stockton years, representatives of the Reno Police Protective Association have taken a critical posture toward department leadership while repeatedly distancing Reno’s rank-and-file officers from the allegations and controversy involving command staff.

Nance once headed the police union in Stockton.

She later became a deputy chief and came within one hiring decision of becoming Stockton’s police chief.

Now, as the former chief in Reno, she finds herself on the opposite side of a police labor organization as questions surrounding her administration continue to be investigated.

The investigations and allegations do not, by themselves, establish criminal wrongdoing.

Officers attempted to take Brown into custody, but he fled from Officers. Officers deployed a Taser and were then able to safely place Brown under arrest. During the arrest, officers located a G***k handgun.

K9 Jack and his handler searched the area of West 2nd Street and West Street for additional evidence and located a fired cartridge casing beneath a parked vehicle.

Brown, 25, was arrested on the following charges:

Discharging a firearm in a public place
Obstructing and resisting a public officer with a deadly weapon
Ex felon in possession of a firearm
Carrying a concealed firearm without a permit
All charges are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

Anyone with information related to this investigation is encouraged to contact the Reno Police Department or Secret Witness at (775) 322-4900. Callers may remain anonymous.”

Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Deputies Recover Missing California Juvenile During Traffic Stop

Faces have been blurred out to protect the identity of the minor.

Per WCSO:

“On September 22, 2026, Washoe County Sheriff’s Office K9 deputies assigned to the Northern Nevada Interdiction Task Force (NNITF) conducted a traffic stop on eastbound I-80 near Mogul.

During the stop, deputies contacted the driver, an adult male, and a 13-year-old female passenger. During the on-scene investigation, deputies determined the juvenile had been entered as a missing person out of California.

Further investigation determined the driver, identified as 20-year-old Christian Tellez, had transported the juvenile from California into Nevada and was traveling toward Utah.

Tellez was taken into custody and transported to the Washoe County Detention Facility, where he was booked on charges including felony First Degree Kidnapping of a Minor, Driving with a Revoked Driver’s License and Operator Proof of Insurance Required.

“What began as a traffic stop quickly developed into a significantly more serious investigation,” said Sheriff Darin Balaam. “Our deputies recognized the circumstances they were dealing with and took the necessary steps to get this 13-year-old girl to safety. I am grateful for their diligence and, most importantly, that this young girl was safely recovered before she was taken any farther from home.”

This remains an active and ongoing investigation.”
