Suspect arrested as search for Nevada teen missing more than two weeks continues

Fernley, Nevada — A prosecutor said Monday that a Fallon man was expected to face a judge this week on a first-degree kidnapping charge in the disappearance of an 18-year-old Fernley woman last seen in her car in the parking lot of a Walmart store more than two weeks ago.

Lyon County District Attorney Steven Rye said he didn't immediately know if Troy Driver, 41, had a lawyer appointed to his defense following his arrest last Friday in the alleged abduction of Naomi Christine Irion.

Irion was last seen about 5:25 a.m. on March 12, when security video showed a masked man wearing a hooded sweatshirt approach her car outside a Walmart store in rural Fernley, about 30 miles east of Reno.
