Carson City arrests: Woman jailed for suspicion of fourth DUI

A 52-year-old Gardnerville woman was arrested Tuesday in the area of South Carson and Eagle Station for suspicion of felony DUI with a prior third felony DUI conviction, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.

Ramona Faye Madore was taken into custody in the area of South Carson and Eagle Station at 8:50 p.m. She also faces misdemeanor charges of failure to maintain a single lane of traffic, driving an unregistered vehicle, no proof of insurance, not having a license and failure to obey a traffic control device.

According to the arrest report, Carson City Dispatch had received several calls for a possible DUI driver in an unlicensed silver Oldsmobile sedan. Officers located the vehicle, which had failed to stop at a stop sign to turn north on South Carson Street.

When the vehicle stopped at a stopped light at South Carson and Clearview, the light turned green and the vehicle crossed the intersection and was halfway in the No. 1 and No. 2 lanes, according to the arrest report. The deputy made a traffic stop at Eagle Station.

The driver rolled down her driver’s side window and passenger side window. Officers could smell an odor of alcohol coming from the vehicle, the report states. As she spoke she was slurring her words. She was asked how many alcohol beverages she had consumed. The woman replied two and said she consumed them at her home in Gardnerville.

She also said she had got off work at around 2:30 p.m. and had four single shots of vodka between 4 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., the arrest report states. She was asked if she would be willing to participate in field sobriety testing. The woman said she was not fit to drive, the arrest report states.

The officer asked if she still wanted to participate. The woman replied “It doesn’t matter.” Due to rain, the field sobriety test was decided to take place at the detention center. The arresting deputy was able to obtain a preliminary breath test with a result of .184, the arrest report states.

At jail she was asked if she would participate in field sobriety testing. She again replied “it doesn’t matter.” She was escorted into the jail for evidentiary testing where she gave samples of .153 and .159. She also submitted to blood testing. Her criminal history showed a conviction for third DUI in August 2010. Bail: $21,105.

Timothy Matthew Jenkins was arrested at 11:14 p.m. in an open field at the northwest corner of State and William streets after a brief chase with a deputy, who injured his right knee in the foot pursuit.

According to the arrest report, a deputy was called to the area of Millennium Terrace and Molly Drive for a report of a suspicious vehicle.

The officer located the vehicle and two people inside. When the officer asked for the identification of Jenkins and a female inside the pickup, the individuals began to move items from the front area of the truck, leading the officer to believe the two were either searching for a weapon or hiding drugs.

The officer ordered the man to exit the vehicle and to sit on a nearby curb. The man then ran from the officer and fell halfway down a hill toward a construction area. The officer attempted to gain control of the man, who got up but then tripped and fell on a sand berm. The man attempted to push himself up with both arms multiple times. The officer struck the man to make him stop resisting and he was placed into handcuffs.

During a search of the man, the officer located a jewelry box with 9 individually wrapped black tar substances identified as heroin that were wrapped in plastic wrap. Inside the man’s right front pocket the officer located a piece of tin foil that was covered in black tar residue.

Another deputy responded to the area in an attempt to make contact with the woman who was also in the truck but she had left the scene. The deputy brought his K9, which positively alerted on the vehicle. Inside the truck deputies located methamphetamine and more heroin. Bail: $4,774.
