A 33-year-old female inmate at Carson City Jail faces a gross misdemeanor charge of possession of a dangerous drug without a prescription after pills were located in her belongings, a sheriff's deputy said.
According to the arrest report, on Tuesday deputies did a search of the woman's jail issued tub and located an unlabeled prescription bottle with 13 pills. All three types of medications found in the bottle are available by prescription only.
The woman, who was assigned janitorial duties at the Carson City Sheriff's Office Administration Building, admitted to having a person drop the pills, cigarettes, a lighter and family photos into a trash can in front of the Carson City Sheriff's Office. When she completed her duties she placed the pills in a mitt that was used to wash patrol vehicles and took them back to her living area. Bail: $2,500.
