A 21-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man were arrested on drug charges after arguing over whether or not they should go to drug rehab, a Carson City sheriff's deputy said.
Hannah Leeper of Sun Valley and Brendan Farmer of Minden were arrested in the area of Eastlake and I-580 North of Arrowhead Drive.
Deputies were dispatched to the area for reports of a physical altercation between two subjects. Deputies arrived and saw Farmer was outside of the vehicle and Leeper was inside. Both told deputies they hadn’t physically fought, but they were arguing about whether or not they should go to drug rehab, the arrest report states. Both had visible track marks and signs of narcotic use.
A K-9 deputy was dispatched to the vehicle and gave a positive alert. Inside deputies found several pieces of drug paraphernalia relating to heroin, a meth pipe, and a small baggie with what appeared to be methamphetamine in it, the arrest report states.
Farmer’s license had also been surrendered or cancelled.
Farmer and Leeper were arrested for the paraphernalia and methamphetamine, and Farmer was additionally cited for driving without a valid license.
At the jail, both admitted to being heroin and meth users and said they would detox while in custody.
In other arrests:
— A 65-year-old woman was arrested in the 1000 block of Woodside Drive for violation of bail conditions and possession of a controlled substance after deputies received reports of a domestic disturbance.
Maryann Valencia was arrested after deputies arrived at the residence and they could hear a woman yelling from inside the residence. Valencia opened the door when deputies knocked, and they saw a man was lying on a sofa inside.
Deputies were aware Valencia was on Alternative Sentencing and had a no contact clause with the man.
No physical altercation had occurred, but Valencia had been yelling, causing the call.
She was placed into custody for violation of bail conditions. While in custody at the Carson City Jail, a search was done of her possessions and deputies found three small pills identified as Lorazapam, which is classified as a schedule IV controlled substance. Bail: $5,500; $3,000 cash only.
Warrants:
— A 37-year-old Carson City man was arrested in the area of Hot Springs Road for a criminal contempt warrant out of Carson City. The contempt of court charge was in relation to failing to appear to pay fines or restitution as ordered by the court, issued Jan. 8, 2019. Bail: $1,801.47.
— A 26-year-old Dayton woman was arrested on an embezzlement warrant after she turned herself into the Carson City Jail. The warrant was issued on Feb. 12. Bail: $500.
