Carson City Sheriff's arrest log: DUI, drug arrests made Friday

A 24 year-old transient man was arrested Friday night a 8:06 p.m. in the area of Long Ridge and Ridgefield on multiple counts of drug possession, including felony possession of a methamphetamine, and violation of his probation terms through the Carson City Department of Alternative Sentencing (DAS), a Carson City Sheriff's deputy said.

Dahani Chance Evans was taken into custody after law enforcement responded to a suspicious person call. The reporting party (RP) had called in to report an individual loitering inside a vehicle, the arrest report said.

The suspect was known to the Carson City Sheriff's Office on previous contacts for drug and burglary investigations, the report said.

Evans initially ran from contact with officers, but was caught shortly after and detained in handcuffs. Carson City Dispatch advised Evans was on active supervision through DAS with a no drugs or alcohol clause as well as a search and seizure clause, the report said.

Evans denied having any drugs on his person when queried by officers and he consented to a search, which did recover two bottles of alcohol and a small blue tablet identified as 10 milligrams of prescription amphetamine in a backpack he was carrying.

A methamphetamine pipe featuring a trace amount of meth was also recovered in the search. Evans was arrested at the request of DAS and transported to the Carson City Jail for booking. Bail: $3,000.
