Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Deputies Arrest Wanted Felon “Washoe County Sheriff’s Office deputies have arrested a wanted felon from California, Danny Dicky Anakalea, 48, on multiple charges, including battery with a deadly weapon. On July 18, 2024, at approximately 2:30 p.m., Washoe County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a residence on Honey Lake Way in Fish Springs, located about sixty miles north of the Reno/Sparks area, for a welfare check on a possible victim of domestic violence. While en route, deputies received information identifying the potential suspect, Danny Anakalea, who had a felony warrant out of California for absconding from parole. His original charges included being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm and stolen property. Additionally, Anakalea was wanted by WCSO patrol deputies on charges of battery with a deadly weapon for a recent case in which he was identified as the suspect. Due to the remote location and the violent nature of the charges, multiple WCSO deputies responded to the address in Fish Springs. Upon arrival, deputies formulated a plan to approach the remote property safely and swiftly. A nearby neighbor contacted deputies, corroborating the domestic battery incident involving Anakalea and the victim residing at the property. Deputies established a perimeter and successfully located and secured the female victim in a patrol vehicle. After several minutes of hailing, Anakalea ultimately surrendered to deputies and was taken into custody without incident. Anakalea was transported to the Washoe County Detention Facility, where he was booked on multiple charges, including: • Domestic battery (1st) • Failure to register by a convicted person • Battery with a deadly weapon • Injuring/Tampering with a motor vehicle resulting in damage of $250-$5,000 • Fugitive warrant from California for absconding from parole” #fishsprings #nevada #washoecounty
