Carson City arrests: Two booked for child endangerment after meth found in vehicle

Two women were arrested Jan. 5 for alleged child neglect/endangerment and drug offenses following a felony traffic stop for parental abduction, according to a Carson City Sheriff's Office booking report.

Shalece Renelle Davenport, 26, of Flint, Texas and Eleanor Maria Games-Castro, 41, of Fort Worth, Texas were taken into custody following a traffic stop at South Roop Street and Randell Drive in Carson City.

According to the booking report, CCSO deputies were dispatched to the 3700 block of South Carson Street regarding a non-custodial parental abduction of a child by his mother, Gamez-Castro. Deputies were alerted that the suspect vehicle was being driven by a friend, identified as Davenport.

The vehicle was located and a felony car stop was made. Both women exited the vehicle and were handcuffed by deputies on scene. The child was located in the back seat of the vehicle and taken to the hospital for medical clearance, according to the report. Child Protective Services was contacted and took custody of the child.

A K-9 was deployed to do a sniff of the vehicle and alerted positive for drugs. A search was done, where deputies located methamphetamine and paraphernalia between the two women near where the child was located in the back seat. Both women were booked for suspicion of felony child neglect/endangerment, possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Bail: $40,000 each.
