Gina Underwood was arrested on the following charges: Possession of a controlled substance, possession of a dangerous drug without a prescription.

According to the arrest report, deputies were patrolling in the area of College Parkway and Richards Boulevard when they observed a vehicle with Calif. plates leaving a residential neighborhood. Deputies followed the vehicle and conduced a records check on the plate.

Dispatch advised the registration for the vehicle was suspended. Deputies conducted a traffic stop and made contact with the driver, identified as Frodge, and the passenger, Underwood.

The pair told deputies neither one of them had any identification. Deputies noticed a clear plastic baggie on the center console, and asked what was inside.

Frodge took the baggie and unrolled it, revealing a clear crystal like substance at the bottom. Deputies asked him again what was inside the baggie, and he stated he did not know.

Deputies took possession of the baggie, which was later confirmed to contain methamphetamine, and asked both Frodge and Underwood to step out of the car.

Deputies read Frodge his miranda rights, and he declined to speak with deputies further. When deputies asked Underwood about the drugs, she said she had no idea they were in the car. Deputies pointed out the drugs were within reach of both she and Frodge, and were visible in the center console. She said again she had no idea they were there.

Deputies told her she was under arrest, but did not handcuff her because she was holding her dog. Animal control came and took possession of the dog.

Later, during a search of the vehicle prior to towing, deputies located a black glasses case under the driver’s side seat which contained a loaded hypodermic device, an empty hypodermic device, a pipe used to smoke methamphetamine, and a clear vile with methamphetamine residue.

At the jail, they searched Underwood’s purse and found a small amount of marijuana, along with three round orange pills which were identified as .5mg Alprazolam, which is only available by prescription. She did not have a prescription, and she told deputies she had found them in her car.

The pair were booked without issue.

— A 38-year-old Carson City man was arrested in the 1000 block of S. Carson Street for domestic battery early Friday morning after fighting with his twin brother.

According to the police report, deputies were dispatched to a local motel on reports of what sounded like a fight coming from one of the rooms. Dispatch advised the man and his twin brother were registered to the room.

On scene, deputies located the room and knocked on the door. The man answered the door and appeared short of breath and agitated as he spoke. He had fresh abrasions and blood on his face and mouth area, the report stated, and had red marks consistent with a physical struggle on his mid and lower back.

The brothers were separated and interviewed. The twin brother was in the living room, and also had red abrasions as well as blood and swelling to his face, right ear, left eye, scalp and mouth. He also had a cut on his left hand.

The brother was reluctant to face deputies and speak with them. He told deputies there had been a fight between himself and the man because the man was heavily intoxicated and couldn’t find his cell phone, and wanted the brother to help him find it. He said the man became aggressive and attacked him, and he fought back and defended himself. He said the fight ended and he went back to his room.

Deputies spoke with the man, who refused to talk to deputies. He said there was no fight, and that the fresh blood and abrasions on him were just “color.” He appeared heavily intoxicated, slurred his speech and had an odor of alcohol coming from his person as he spoke.

— A 32-year-old Sun Valley man was arrested in the 3400 block of Carson Street for hit and run with property damage and careless driving after running his semi-truck into a pillar of the entrance cover.

According to the report, deputies arrived on scene to a local hotel where they met with a manager who was with the Carson City Fire Department, assessing the building. The manager told deputies that at around 1:40 p.m., a semi-truck hit the south east pillar of the entrance cover, which was visibly moved a few inches on the base. The damage was estimated to be approximately $20,000-30,000, but could potentially be more if there was additional structural damage.

Employees on scene stated there was a loud bang with lots of smoke and dust in the air. Several other witnesses on scene had seen the crash as well, and stated there were two men inside the truck.

Deputies contacted the truck’s company, who’s logo was visibly printed on the side of the truck, and they advised none of their trucks were showing in Carson City. However, they had “brokered out a truck” to a tire company.

At around 4:41 p.m., the manager of the hotel had located the truck at a local tire store, which had damage to its right side.

Deputies responded to the location and met with the driver of the vehicle, who denied his truck had been in a crash. He said he turned around at the hotel, and that he never hit anything. The passenger also denied anything happened. The deputies told the men they did not believe this was true considering multiple people from inside the hotel heard the bang, and there was smoke and dust from the pillar.

After the passenger was read his miranda rights, he told deputies he works for a temp agency and was assigned to assist the Sun Valley man. He was in the passenger side when the Sun Valley man drove into the parking lot of the hotel at a high rate of speed, struck the pillar, and kept driving. He told the man they should stop since they hit the building. The man allegedly replied, if they wanted him to stop they can come outside and chase them down.

According to the report, deputies spoke with employees at the tire shop, who advised the truck had been parked there since 1:30 p.m., and that they had struck a curb which damaged a tire. Deputies checked the damage on the truck, and noticed scrapes on the right side and damage to one of the right side tires.

The Sun Valley man was taken into custody for hit and run with property damage and careless driving.
