A routine registration check of a vehicle led a Carson City sheriff's deputy to arrest Bradford "Brad" Waren Stone, 30, an unemployed Dayton resident, at around 1 p.m. Tuesday, near the 2800 block of Concord Dr.

An officer ran the plates of a grey Dodge ram and discovered that it's registration was expired and that there was a warrant out for one of the registered owners. After being pulled over, Stone admitted to having a pipe used for smoking methamphetamines, and marijuana.
