A 51-year-old transient man was arrested Saturday for felony suspicion of indecent exposure, misdemeanor driving under the influence second offense and open container of alcohol, a Carson City sheriff's deputy said.

According to the arrest report, Carson City Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the 1000 block of East William Street, near Mills Park, for a report of a possible intoxicated driver. The reporting party claimed that a male, Randall E. Dandliker, had driven into a curb in the parking lot, reversed the vehicle from the curb and “slammed” the brakes.

According to the reporting party, after a couple minutes of being parked in the parking lot, he saw the man exit the vehicle and urinated in the parking lot. The arrest report states the vehicle’s location and the area where Dandliker urinated was approximately 50 feet from the playground.

A CCSO deputy made contact with Dandliker and stated in the report that his eyes were very red and watery and that Dandliker had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person. The deputy could see an open 24 oz. can of beer in the center console and the key to the vehicle was still in the ignition, the arrest report states.

Dandliker submitted to a preliminary breath test that yielded a result of 0.306 percent BAC. He was booked into custody at 3:16 p.m. and taken to Carson Tahoe Hospital to be medically cleared due to the high PBT result before being transported to the Carson City Jail. Total bail: $7,692.

Jacob Pacheco, 31, was also arrested for two active felony warrants out of Carson City. Danny Russell Piper, 59, was additionally cited for driving without proof of insurance.

Pacheco was taken into custody for the outstanding warrants and without prompting, he told a Carson City Sheriff’s Office deputy that the backpack in the vehicle was not his. When the deputy asked Pacheco why he was denying ownership of the backpack he replied that he didn’t want to be charged for the stuff inside of it, the arrest report states.

The deputy later made contact with the driver, Piper, and also without prompt, he said Pacheco left his backpack in the vehicle.

Both men denied ownership of the backpack so a canine deputy was requested and signaled a positive hit on the vehicle. According to the arrest report, a search of the vehicle yielded a glass pipe located under the right side of the passenger seat. Piper stated that the pipe belonged to Pacheco and also denied ownership of the backpack mentioned by Pacheco.

During a search of the backpack, deputies located 1.3 grams of a white crystal substance believed to be methamphetamine, a scale, and multiple clear baggies, the arrest report states. Also within, multiple items of U.S. mail addressed to Piper. Piper eventually told deputies the backpack belonged to him, but that Pacheco had placed his drugs inside of it.
