A 35-year-old man was arrested Friday for multiple alleged felony drug offenses, according to the Carson City Sheriff's Office Special Enforcement Team.

According to the booking report, a Special Enforcement Team deputy was traveling northbound on Carson Street and observed a vehicle license plate with the light not functioning. The officer turned around to stop the vehicle, when the driver of the vehicle abruptly stopped at a gas station. The right front passenger then quickly exited the vehicle and started walking northbound.

The deputy stopped behind them with their emergency light activate and told the female to return to the vehicle, which she did.

The officer then spoke with the driver, and the rear left passenger, Bryan Wilson. The officer could smell an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. The officer inquired about the presence of marijuana. Wilson admitted he had some in the vehicle, the arrest report states.

Deputies conducted a record check and learned Wilson had a warrant issued for his arrest through the Department of Alternative Sentencing. While awaiting confirmation, the officer asked Wilson about possession of marijuana. He admitted it was located int he vehicle. The officer searched a black bag, which contained cards bearing his name, the report states.

The bag contained marijuana in a mason jar and several small baggies of bud marijuana. They were packaged in different weights, which are common for drug sales. There was also approximately 90 grams of marijuana butter (a THC concentrate edible product) and hash oil in another smaller container. Wilson appeared to have a variety of cannabis products, packaged in a manner consistent with sales, the report states.

The Department of Alternative Sentencing warrant was confirmed and DAS wanted him arrested for the warrant. The deputy placed Wilson in custody and informed him of his Miranda rights, which he stated he understood.

He stated that he was selling marijuana to people to sustain his income, the report said. The officer asked him if there would be messages on his cellular phone related to drug sales. He admitted there likely would be but denied consent to search. Bail: $10,000 and $3,000 cash for the warrant.

— A 28-year-old man was arrested Sunday for suspicion of hit and run, reckless driving and failing to report an accident among other misdemeanor offenses, according to a Carson City Sheriff's Office booking report.

The driver was taken into custody at 10:27 p.m. He was also arrested for suspicion of obstructing, driving with a revoked license and driving without a valid license.

According to the booking report, an off-duty officer advised that a suspect vehicle struck another vehicle in the area of Silver Sage and Sonoma.

The victim stated the suspect vehicle swerved all over the road prior to the crash, the report states.

A deputy went directly to the building to make contact with the suspect, knocking on the exterior of the building. A small crack in the garage door of the building revealed a damaged BMW sedan and a fresh fluid trail that led from the area of Fairview Drive to the garage on South Roop Street.
