Two people were arrested early Wednesday morning for alleged possession of a controlled substance after methamphetamine was discovered following a traffic stop, a Carson City sheriff's deputy said.
Brandon Jeffries and Shannan Bekowsky, both listed as transients, were taken into custody in the area of West Clearview and Carson Street. At around 1:15 a.m. a deputy made a traffic stop on a white Ford van with Arizona plates traveling on Clearview without any illuminated tail lights.
The female driver identified herself using a California ID card, with the male sitting in the passenger seat. The deputy asked if they had any controlled substances recently. Both told the deputy they had smoked methamphetamine two days ago. The female said there was not any controlled substances in the vehicle and gave consent to search the vehicle.
Prior to the search the woman told the deputy there was a plastic bag in the cup holder of the vehicle. The male passenger said there was a glass meth pipe inside the vehicle near where he was sitting and said it did not belong to him.
The plastic bag in the driver's side cup holder contained methamphetamine, the arrest report states. Also located in the glove box was a pouch that contained a glass meth pipe and a small plastic bag that contained methamphetamine. Both were arrested for suspicion of felony drug possession. The male also faces a misdemeanor charge of drug paraphernalia. Bail: $2,500 each.
In other arrests:
— A 39-year-old transient was arrested Tuesday, 4:56 p.m. in the area of East Long and Humboldt streets for a misdemeanor warrant issued out of Sparks Municipal court. Bail: $630.
— A 38-year-old transient was arrested Tuesday at the Carson City Jail for a misdemeanor failure to appear warrant issued June 20, 2019 out of New River Justice Court. Bail: $500.

All subjects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The policy of Carson Now is to name anyone who is arrested for a felony offense.
