Carson City deputies arrest Sacramento man after finding meth during traffic stop
A Sacramento man faces drug trafficking, paraphernalia and other charges after Carson City sheriff's deputies found four grams of methamphetamine and smoking pipes inside his truck after a traffic stop.
Randall Velmar Berke, 54, was pulled over on a suspended registration early Wednesday morning at the corner of Carson Street and Fleischmann Way.
The arresting deputy learned from the suspect that he didn't have insurance and when his license was checked to see if he had warrants, the deputy learned it had been suspended.
According to the arrest report, the deputy impounded the vehicle and did a inventory search of it as the suspect watched.
During the inventory of the vehicle, the suspect, and the intake search at the jail, authorities discovered and seized three separate baggies containing methamphetamine and two methamphetamine pipes. One of the pipes was found on the center console of the vehicle during inventory and the other from Berke's jacket pocket during the intake search.
Bail has been set at $23,290.
