A Carson City man was arrested Friday afternoon at 5:03 p.m. in the area of Fairview Drive and Roop Street for second-offense driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy said.
According to the arrest report, the 24 year-old bartender had been stopped by a Carson City Sheriff's deputy for traveling at twice the speed of a posted 25 mile-per-hour (mph) speed limit, topping at about 50 mph.
Upon making contact with the motorcyclist, law enforcement observed signs of impairment, including a strong odor of alcohol coming from the person.
The suspect consented to a field sobriety test (FST), the report said, which showed signs of impairment. A preliminary breath test (PBT) was also obtained, showing breath alcohol content (BAC) of .155 percent.
The suspect was handcuffed and transported to the Carson City Jail for booking on multiple misdemeanor charges, including a second DUI, excessive speed, no vehicle insurance, and violation of a suspended sentenced out of the Carson City Justice Court. Bail: $2,500.
In other arrests:
— A 22 year-old Carson City man was arrested Saturday morning at 7:21 a.m. in the 200 block of East William Street on multiple felony offenses, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy said, including an outstanding bench warrant and possession of methamphetamine.
According to the arrest report, law enforcement stopped Hugo Ramirez for a known active arrest warrant for felony obtaining/possessing a credit/debit card without permission issued out of the Carson City Justice Court.
The warrant was confirmed through a records search by dispatch and Ramirez was placed in handcuffs, the report said.
A small pouch containing a white, rocky substance determined to be meth was found during a search of Ramirez's person, the report said, along with an injection syringe and a bent spoon with residue commonly used for heroin.
Ramirez was subsequently transported to the Carson City Jail for booking. Bail: $2,500.
— An 18 year-old homeless man was arrested Friday morning at 9:43 a.m. in the area of California and Colorado streets for multiple drug offenses, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy said.
According to the arrest report, the suspect was found in possession of a dangerous drug without a prescription, a gross misdemeanor. He was also found to have possessed marijuana, a misdemeanor for persons under the age of 21, as well as drug paraphernalia.
Law enforcement spotted the suspect and another subject crossing Fairview Drive through a parking lot, where they disappeared behind parked vehicles. They emerged onto California, where they were then stopped by a Carson City deputy asking for identification, the report said.
One subject produced identification when asked, but the suspect stated his had been stolen. The pair reported to law enforcement that they were in the area collecting used cigarettes to smoke, the report said.
During questioning, both subjects were observed to be wearing large knives around their belts. The suspect was also observed to have another knife hanging from a chain around his neck, the report said.
Another unit was called in for support, and the knives were removed safely from the subjects during the stop.
The subjects were then patted down for additional weapons. Officers were given consent to reach in and remove contents from their pants pockets, the report said.
The suspect's pockets contained a glass pipe containing a large green, leafy bud of marijuana. Another pipe was recovered from the suspect's belongings, the report said, this one featuring black and white residue on it consistent with methamphetamine.
A clear, plastic baggie containing three blue Naproxen pills were also recovered among the suspect's belongings, the report said. The suspect stated he received the pills from a friend.
He was subsequently handcuffed and transported to the Carson City Jail for booking. Bail: $1,000.
