A man allegedly fought with deputies after law enforcement responded Oct. 7 to a report of an aggressive panhandler in Gardnerville.

Deshon Everett Marman, 35, appeared in East Fork Justice Court on Friday where his bail was ordered to be $35,000.

Prosecutor Chelsea Mazza said Marman has an extensive criminal history of convictions for violence against emergency personnel.

Marman was convicted in a 2020 assault on two officers in the Bay Area and had been in prison.

He was also being sought in South Lake Tahoe for several burglaries, she said.

Deputies allegedly found an iPad reported stolen from the South Lake Target, a wallet belonging to a theft victim and methamphetamine.

In the 2020 case, Marman was convicted of trying to take an officer’s gun and biting his neck.

Attorney Max Stovall said Marman was working as a food delivery driver and had significant medical issues and severe PTSD related to law enforcement.

Senior Judge Steve McMorris upheld the bail and agreed to order no contact with the victims, the South Lake Tahoe Target or the Gardnerville Subway.
