Carson City sheriff's log: Deputies make multiple drug and warrant arrests

Two were arrested Monday in the area of Imperial Way and West Nye Lane for drug possession and other charges, a Carson City sheriff's deputy said.

Michael Jervik-Harrell, 25, was arrested for possession of a stun gun by an ex-felon, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Also arrested was Melissa Renae Argetsinger, 32, for felony possession of a controlled substance, three misdemeanor warrants, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to the arrest report, deputies made contact with the two after a call for service in the area. The woman advised she had warrants for her arrest. Dispatch advised she had two Carson City warrants and a warrant out of Sparks Municipal Court. She was arrested.

A deputy deployed his K9 partner Tarzan who performed a free air sniff of the vehicle the couple had been standing near. The dog alerted positive for a drug odor on both sides of the vehicle. A search of the vehicle was done. Deputies located a pink backpack on the driver's seat. It was searched where two used meth pipes with broken stems were found in a black bag. Both pipes still had methamphetamine residue inside of them.

On the passenger side there was a black backpack. Inside the locked backpack, deputies located a glass vial consistent with methamphetamine, three hypodermic needles, and two clear plastic baggies with a white powdery substance consistent with methamphetamine. Also located was a metal beer cap with the bottom burned, which is commonly referred to as a "cooker."

A further search of the backpack was done during the jail intake search. Inside was a black, fully functional stun gun. Due to the man being an ex-felon, he was charged subsequently for possession of a stun gun by a felon. Bail for Jerik-Herrell: $23,637. Bail for Argetsinger: $4,605.
