The family of four was found with an AK-47 rifle, three handguns, a pistol, ammunition, knives and a taser, according to a police report.
A janitor, his wife and their two children were found living inside of the Children’s Museum of Northern Nevada, pictured, authorities said.CARSON CITY, Nev. — A Nevada couple was found secretly keeping a cache of weapons and living with their two kids at a northern Nevada children’s museum where they worked, authorities said.Friday. The 41-year-old man has been charged with child neglect and endangerment and possession of a suppressor and a short barrel rifle.
Officials realized the family was living in the museum after the man’s 2-year-old child was spotted walking nearby unsupervised, the Carson City Sheriff’s Office said. It was not the first time police interacted with the man over his child being left alone. But this time, the toddler’s older sister gave deputies the museum as their address.
Authorities, along with a museum board member, then walked through the property and saw signs people had been living there. Sleeping bags, mattresses, clothes and food were among the items found in areas off-limits to visitors, the sheriff’s office said. The janitor’s wife, a museum manager, was also living there, investigators said. But they did not identify her or say if she would face any charges.The museum’s board of directors is facing questions about how this was able to happen. The group issued an apology and said they were “shocked and saddened.”
“We are looking into the best path to reopen in a way that not only assures the safety of all of our visitors, but that we as a community can be proud of as well,” they said in a statement.Leah Tsuchimoto, who works at a nearby hotel, told the TV station she will never take her children there again. The entire ordeal has been “a complete shock,” she said.
