The Ely Times and White Pine County Sheriffs Office
The White Pine County Sheriffs Office (WPCSO) is currently seeking any information regarding attempted murder suspect Benjamin B. Delgrande. The 35-year-old Ely resident is thought to have “fled the area” according to the WPCSO after officers received a domestic battery call on June 14 that took place in White Pine County. According to a press release put out by the sheriff’s office, Ely resident Shannan Breitrick had made the call at 5:11 a.m. after Delgrande attacked her.
“Deputies reported that Breitrick had sustained multiple head injuries and requested an ambulance respond for medical treatment. Breitrick was taken to E.R. by ambulance and due to the extensiveness of her injuries was life flighted to another hospital facility,” the press release states.
An arrest warrant has since been obtained from the Ely Justice Court on charges of: Kidnapping in the first degree, kidnapping in the second degree resulting in substantial bodily harm, coercion, attempted murder, domestic battery causing bodily harm and domestic battery strangulation. Bail has been set at one million dollars.
Anyone with information on Delgrande and where he might be located is encouraged to call the Sheriff’s Office at 775-289-8808. The Sheriff’s Office also advises anyone who is harboring Delgande or assisting him in evading law enforcement will be prosecuted according to the laws of the State of Nevada.
Police have received verifiable solid information on the whereabouts of Benjamin Delgrande and have done NOTHING!
Mindi, they don’t go around waving flags and holding signs about what they are or are not doing during the course of an investigation. Let’s bide our time and we will all find out together when the time is right.
That’s not a shocker. Penny should be sheriff
isn’t anyone shocked that Benny is being accused of this? O no wait this is Ely and nothing shocks me anymore!!
I am soooooo NOT shocked by this, the only thing that shocks me is it didn’t happen sooner, and that he let her live, we all know his last victim was not as fortunate.
Apprehended?!!.??..!??
