Carson City jailers find drugs taped to man's penis

A Carson City man, who was being booked into jail on a violation of his probation, faces felony drug charges after allegedly having a controlled substance taped to his penis.

Che Daniel Brower, 19, was arrested at the jail on Friday at about 9:45 a.m. Bail was set at $10,000.

The man went into the pre-booking area where a package of Suboxone was found taped to his penis, according to the arrest report. The Schedule 3 narcotic prescription drug is commonly used for people who are detoxing from heroin or opiates.

According to the arrest report, authorities began the routine search of the man's clothing, removing his blue jeans where he was wearing black sport shorts underneath his blue jeans, according to the arrest report. Officers used a metal detector wand to search him in order to prevent contraband and weapons to enter the jail facility.

When a deputy moved the wand in front of Brower's waist and groin area, the metal detector sounded, indicating something metal was present inside that area, the arrest report stated.

Brower's black sport shorts and gray underwear appeared to have no metal on them. Officers asked Brower why the metal detector would trip an alarm. The man stated it was Suboxone, according to the arrest report.

Officers escorted the man to the booking showers to complete a strip search to ensure no metal contraband was in his shorts or underwear. The man removed his black sport shorts, underwear and a package taped to his penis was given to the officer. It was an unopened Suboxone 8mg/2mg packet. The packet of Suboxone has an instruction of prescription only, indicating a prescription is required to possess it. There was no prescription label on the packet, the arrest report stated.

The man faces charges of being in possession of a prescription medication without a prescription.
