A 23-year-old Carson City man was arrested Wednesday on felony drug charges, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said. Troy Lee Lindsey was booked on the felony charges after officers found two baggies of suspected methamphetamine in the man’s shoe.
According to the arrest report, a Carson City Sheriff’s Office Special Enforcement Team officer observed the man make a sudden turn on North Roop Street to East Washington at 9:26 p.m., nearly causing a collision between himself and another vehicle.
The officer told the man the reason for the traffic stop and observed the man had red eyes and smelled moderately of alcohol.
The man was unable to produce proof of insurance. The officer asked how much the man had to drink and the man said he didn’t have anything to drink. Officers ran the man’s license through dispatch where he was on Alternative Sentencing with a search and seizure clause for drugs and alcohol.
The man agreed to a preliminary breath test which came back with a .03. During jail booking the man was searched where officers found two baggies of suspected methamphetamine in his right shoe.
One of the baggies appeared to contain two separate baggies. The total amount contained about 1 gram, a street value of $100. He was booked on two felony charges: possession of a controlled substance and intent to sell; and three misdemeanor charges: failure to yield, no proof of insurance and violation of pretrial supervision. Bail: $11,349.
