Pair arrested on drug charges after woman allegedly gives kids 2 joints for doing dishes

A Carson City couple were jailed Thursday on felony drug charges, including suspicion of providing marijuana to minors in exchange for chores, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.

Officers with the Carson City Special Enforcement Team made the arrests Thursday, July 24, 10:55 p.m. in the 1200 block of Woodside Drive. In custody are Breanna E. Smith, 21, and Brandon Goblet, 29. Each were arrested on suspicion of felony charges of maintaining a drug house while Smith was charged with allegedly furnishing drugs to a minor. According to the arrest report, a boy told his parents he and his brother got two marijuana joints for helping Smith do the dishes.

According to the arrest report, officers were following up on an investigation in which Smith had allegedly given marijuana to the children. Upon arrival officers made contact with the couple who opened the door to the apartment. As Goblet opened the door a strong odor of marijuana emitted from the apartment, the arrest report states.

As the officer looked inside there was a male sleeping on the couch and a female toward the back. A deputy asked Goblet to have all the occupants step out of the apartment while a deputy spoke with Smith who then gave him permission to go inside the apartment and look for marijuana, the report states.

A deputy went inside the apartment and began to search. A few minutes later he returned with 2 marijuana joints and then later found two firearms inside the apartment that belonged to Goblet. Also located in the living room was a large multi-colored glass bong.

Another officer continued searching. In the northeast bedroom he noticed some attic insulation on a dresser, in which he then took a chair and opened the attic for access.

As the officer opened the attic he found a gray nylon bag and black gas mask with a long tube sticking out of the end. The officer retrieved the items from the attic and put them on the bed. In the bag were several pipes, a scale, mason jar with 8 grams of marijuana, a small baggie with 1 gram of marijuana and three grinders. The officer took custody of all the items to include the two firearms, the arrest report states.

Both Smith and Goblet were charged with maintaing a drug house and Smith with an additional charge of giving and furnishing drugs to minors. According to a separate narrative, officers responded earlier to the 1200 block of Woodside and spoke with the parents of two boys who called the sheriff’s office to report the incident.

The arrest report states a son handed his mother a cigarette box and told her there were two marijuana joints inside it. The mother asked her son how he got the marijuana and the boy said Smith gave it to him after he and his brother did the dishes for Smith.

The officer interviewed the boys, one who said that he sometimes does chores for “Bree” as he called her, and that early on July 24, he and his brother went to her house to do the dishes.

After they were done he said “Bree” gave him a cigarette box and since he didn’t like cigarettes he tried to hand it back to her but she told him to keep it, one of the boy’s told the officer. Inside the box were two joints, the arrest report states. Bail for Smith: $95,000. Bail for Goblet, $20,000.

In other felony arrests:
— A man entering the Carson City Jail on 3:40 p.m. July 24 faces a felony charge of being in possession of heroin. A K9 was was called to do a sniff inside the property room of the jail where the dog alerted to a bag belonging to Jeff David Stewart, 29, the arrest report states. Upon searching the bag, officers found a clear ziplock baggie with a brown hard substance, which tested positive for heroin. Stewart was read his rights and he agreed to speak. He was asked why he didn’t let the arresting deputy know he had heroin in his possession while entering the jail. The man said he was afraid of getting charged with it and wanted to leave it alone, the arrest report states. Bail: $2,500.
