Carson City SET arrests woman on multiple felony drug charges

A 33-year-old Carson City woman was arrested by SET officers Thursday evening in the 400 block of Corbett Street on multiple felony drug charges.

Mary Rachel Nicole Reasoner was arrested after she refused to comply with a routine compliance check with parole and probation.

A SET K9 deputy went to a local restaurant to conduct a probation compliance check on Reasoner along with a Nevada Parole and Probation Officer.

While the SET deputy waited for parole and probation to arrive, he observed Reasoner exit the restaurant, sit on the curb, and make a phone call for approximately three minutes while smoking a cigarette before returning inside.

When P&P arrived, they approached Reasoner and asked her to unlock her phone, which is a condition of probation. Reasoner told them she didn’t know the passcode, despite the fact that she had just been seen making a phone call.

She was then asked to take a urinalysis test, and she attempted to tamper with the test by dipping it in toilet water.

She was arrested for the violation, and deputies went to her home for a search and seizure.

Deputies made contact with Reasoner’s mother, who allowed them into the home to search Reasoner’s bedroom.

In the bedroom, they located multiple drug-related items, including, a tooter straw, picks, a lighter, and a lip balm container which contained methamphetamine. They also found a second lip balm container which contained heroin, and burned foil with drug residue in the trash can.

She is being held without bail on the probation violation charge.

In other arrests:

— A 59-year-old Carson City man was arrested Thursday morning in the 100 block of E. Long Street on a misdemeanor trespassing charge.

Deputies were called to a local thrift store on a threats report, and a request to have a trespasser removed.

When deputies arrived, the manager explained that the man was inside making shoppers feel uncomfortable and harassing the employees. According to the manager, the man was telling employees that they were drug dealers and accusing them of stealing from the business.

The man is a volunteer. The thrift store used to provide shelter for the man, the manager explained, but they no longer provide the shelter so he no longer has to volunteer.

The manager also said a few days prior the man was involved in an altercation with another employee, which was handled internally, but the man had been demanding to know the outcome of the altercation.

The manager said the man is constantly angry and causing problems with employees and customers and wanted him to be formally trespassed.

The deputy made contact with the man, who became verbally aggressive. According to the police report, he demanded to know why the deputy spoke with the manager first before him. He asked the deputy why he was “treating him like a criminal.”

The man then told the deputy a few days prior another employee had threatened him. He said the other employee “pointed their finger at him in an aggressive manner and told [the man] not to say their name.” He also told the deputy the other employees are drug dealers and criminals.

The deputy told the man that the manager wants him to leave the property. He became verbally aggressive again and stated he had done nothing wrong and refused to leave. He told the deputy that he owes the business money and he needs to pay them.

Deputies told the man to call the business to make arrangements prior to going onto the property to pay them back. He said he “is not going to call them and that he is going to pay them back by coming onto the property and giving them their money.”

The man was told again he needed to leave, at which point the man flipped off deputies and walked away, stating he is not going to leave. He stood on the street and continued to yell that he wasn’t leaving.

Deputies told the man he cannot stand on the street and he has to leave the area. The man said he wasn’t going to leave, and walked to the sidewalk next to the business. He said he is going to stand there all day and not leave.

Deputies told him again he had to leave, and according to the police report, the man was speaking in a “high agitated voice” throughout the entire encounter.

Since he refused to leave, he was charged with trespassing and taken into custody without incident.

Bail: $242

— A 38-year-old Carson City man was arrested early Friday morning at 2:30 a.m. in the 700 block of N. Carson Street on two outside agency warrants.

Deputies were patrolling in the area of N. Carson and E. Washington Streets, when a deputy noticed a black sedan that had been parked at the fuel pumps of a gas station for an extended period of time, which the deputy found odd.

According to the police report, the deputy approached and observed someone slumped over the driver’s seat of the vehicle, and there was a young girl in the front passenger seat.

The deputy knocked on the window to wake up the occupants. The driver identified himself and told the deputy his vehicle had died at the fuel pump and he and his daughter were waiting for the gas station to open so he could have the vehicle jump started.

Dispatch advised the man had a confirmed warrant for his arrest issued by the Sparks Township Justice Court and another for the Reno Township Justice Court.

He was taken into custody. Unfortunately the man had no one who could take his daughter into their care, and she was taken into temporary custody by the department of child and family services until the man’s warrants were addressed.

Bail: $2,040 cash only.

— A 66-year-old Carson City man currently incarcerated was given an additional charge of battery by a prisoner with a deadly weapon, a felony.

He was taken into custody without incident.

Bail: $295 cash
