A 22-year-old Dayton man was arrested Monday afternoon for possession of a controlled substance, a felony and two lesser charges, a Carson City sheriff's deputy said.
Nicholas Alec Canas was taken into custody at 1:11 p.m. in the 700 block of Fleischmann Way. According to the arrest report, deputies were sent to a clinic for an altercation at the facility. Dispatch provided information on the suspect, who is currently on supervision with the Nevada Department of Parole and Probation.
Deputies arrived on scene and attempted to locate the males involved in the altercation. A deputy made contact with the suspect, who drove up to the front entrance of the clinic in a vehicle. The man advised the altercation with the other male was only verbal, according to the arrest report.
A deputy had his K9 dog Tarzan perform a free air sniff of the vehicle he was driving. The dog alerted positive to the presence of illegal narcotics in the Honda and the man was detained. During a search of the vehicle deputies located a plastic bottle that contained marijuana and a small clear plastic baggie with small drops of THC oil, the arrest report states.
