Heidi Coquette Lanyon was arrested after deputies were dispatched to Pick-and-Pull on the report of a possible commercial burglary in progress Thursday at 10:45 p.m.

The caller said they could see a person inside the perimeter fence walking around the inventory lot.

She was placed under arrest and transported to the Carson City Detention Center for booking and transfer of custody.

At the detention center, a small black pouch was found inside her backpack commonly identified as a drug kit.

— A 54-year-old Carson City woman and a 56-year-old man were arrested in the area of Koontz and Carson Street Thursday night on the felony charge of possessing a controlled substance, and the misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia; the woman was also charged with misdemeanor charges of no proof of insurance, and disobeying traffic laws.

Johanna Thomas and Jeffery McManus were arrested after deputies from the Special Enforcement Team were surveilling a known drug house. A car arrived to the residence and was at the residence for ten to fifteen minutes, according to the police report.

Two people, later identified as Thomas and McManus, left the residence and got into the vehicle. The vehicle left and was followed by SET deputies to the south Carson City area.

Deputies observed the vehicle approach the red traffic signal and stopped 1/3 of the way into the crosswalk beyond the white limit.

The vehicle was stopped and deputies spoke to the occupants. McManus was in the passenger seat and Thomas was driving, according to the police report.

While a citation was being issued to Thomas for failing to stop at the stop light before the white line, K-9 Deputy Ivo was dispatched to conduct an exterior free air sniff of the vehicle.

Ivo alerted to the presence of drug odor at the right rear door of the vehicle.

A spoon with a white residue was located on the passenger seat floorboard. The spoon was doused in water from a nearby spilled water bottle. The floor mat was covered in water as well. It appeared that McManus attempted to wash with the spoon or possibly discard or destroy other drugs by dousing them in water prior to being stopped, according to the deputies.

Deputies also located another spoon with a trace amount of methamphetamine on the surface in the pocket behind the driver’s seat.

Deputies tested the water at McManus’s feet which resulted in inconclusive results. Both spoons tested positive for methamphetamine.

Thomas said she was going to a child’s birthday party (at nearly 11 o’clock at night). She said McManus borrowed to the car to go to the casino. She said she was not using drugs other than marijuana and gave consent to search her phone.

Deputies found at least “three strings of text messages” where Thomas was trying to buy small amounts of drugs from various drug dealers in Carson City, according to the report. She said none of the items in the vehicle belonged to her, though they were in her reach and she was driving the vehicle.

McManus was adamant that none of the items belonged to him. He said he did not spill any water or try to destroy drugs. He said he did not use any drugs whatsoever, although deputies saw messages on Thomas’s phone stating he was using Suboxone.

They were transported to the jail without incident, and the vehicle was impounded.
