Pair arrested by Carson City deputies for methamphetamine possession, driving into traffic

A 61-year-old Washoe Valley woman and a 35-year-old Washoe Valley man were arrested in the area of E. William Street for possession of a controlled substance, Department of Alternative Sentencing violations, and wrong way driving.

According to the report, Judith Ward Tribon and Miles Ray Dodd were arrested Thursday afternoon by Special Enforcement Team deputies who were investigating complaints of open-air drug use/sales, public intoxication and other “street-level” crimes as part of the Downtown Enforcement Detail.

Deputies observed a vehicle traveling northbound on Carson Street, south of Robinson Street, which drove into oncoming traffic in order to park in one of the parallel spaces, facing south.

The driver of the vehicle, later identified as Tribon, pulled her vehicle up to a van, spoke with another motorist briefly, and then left, pulling again into oncoming traffic before continuing northbound on Carson Street.

Deputies stopped the vehicle and noted immediately that the vehicle smelled of alcohol, and the woman admitted to drinking one alcoholic beverage at a local casino.

Deputies also spoke with the passenger, identified as Dodd, who was on supervision with the Department of Alternative Sentencing and had a condition not to possess drugs.

K-9 Deputy Ivo was dispatched to the scene, who conducted a free-air exterior sniff around the vehicle. Ivo alerted to the presence of drug odor at the passenger side of the vehicle.

Inside the vehicle deputies located 2.5 grams of methamphetamine inside a baggie under the passenger seat cover where Dodd had been sitting.

Following a field sobriety test, Tribon was determined to not be impaired. However, she admitted to being a user of methamphetamine, but denied the methamphetamine in the vehicle belonged to her. She stated that others had access to the vehicle, but was not sure where the methamphetamine came from.

DAS also requested additional charges on Dodd for a violation of his conditions.

Both were taken into custody.
