In other arrests:
— Two Carson City women were arrested Wednesday for felony drug possession and misdemeanor offenses, a sheriff's deputy said.
April Marie James, 51, and Nichol Virginia Hoxsie, 44, were taken into custody in the 2500 block of Concord Drive at 3:39 p.m. Both were arrested for suspicion of possession of methamphetamine.
Both also face misdemeanor charges of possession of drug paraphernalia and open container. James has additional charges including not having a driver's license in possession, driving on a suspended license and failure to drive on the right side of the road.
According to the arrest report, a Carson City Sheriff's Office Special Enforcement Team deputy made a traffic stop after observing a vehicle drive erratically, crossing lanes and not turning without signaling. It appeared to the officer the driver of the vehicle was attempting to lose him.
As the deputy exited his vehicle he watched the passenger, Hoxsie, turn around and appeared to be manipulating something in the back seat. She turned forward as the officer approached the vehicle. Based on the movements of both the driver and passenger, the deputy asked the pair to exit the vehicle, the report states.
The deputy asked the driver for a license, which she stated she didn't have in her possession. The deputy conducted a records check that showed her license suspended for a failure to appear warrant. She was arrested. The woman admitted she had marijuana concealed on her person. In speaking with the women separately, both gave conflicting accounts of their travel plans, where they came from and where they were going, the arrest report states.
A drug detection K9 conducted an exterior free air sniff around the vehicle and alerted positive. The vehicle was searched where a deputy located a spoon with trace amounts of methamphetamine, a red tin with a "tooter" straw, commonly used to inhale narcotics, a meth pipe and methamphetamine residue. There was also a glass of alcohol under the driver's seat filled to 1/3 capacity.
Deputies interviewed the women separately and informed them of their Miranda rights. James admitted a purse on the seat was hers and initially denied possession of the meth-related items. She then stated "well if it's in there, it's mine," the arrest report states. Hoxsie also denied knowing about the drug items though it was observed she was moving the purse with the suspected drug paraphernalia and other items to the back seat. Bail for James: $5,590. Bail for Hoxsie: $3,824.
