Carson City Sheriff's arrest log: Deputies make felony drug busts Thursday

A 33 year-old Carson City man was arrested Thursday afternoon at 3:55 p.m. in the 3500 block of Diamond Avenue on felony drug trafficking charges, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy reported, as well as misdemeanor obstruction, drug paraphernalia possession and an active contempt of court bench warrant issued by the Carson City Justice Court.

Lenox Lacour was taken into custody after he was recognized from prior contacts by patrolling officers, who spotted him riding a bicycle in the area of Northgate Lane and Applegate Way.

A records check through Carson City dispatch confirmed an outstanding arrest warrant and deputies attempted to make a stop, the arrest report said.

But Lacour peddled faster in an effort to evade law enforcement, crossing five lanes on East College Parkway to residence on Diamond Avenue, where he then got off the bicycle and began running, the report said.

Officers yelled at Lacour to stop, but the suspect continued running through the yard of the residence. He was eventually located hiding behind bushes and detained in handcuffs, the report said.

During a search of Lacour, a small plastic baggie containing less than an ounce of methamphetamine was recovered, along with a glass pipe and butane torch style lighter.

Additional plastic baggies hidden in a cigarette carton were recovered in the bushes at the scene, containing more meth, the report said.

In all, just over 15 grams of meth were recovered upon the arrest. Lacour denied that all of the meth was his. He stated that only about 1.7 grams belonged to him, the report said.

Bail: $41,549.
