An 18-year-old Carson City man was arrested Thursday afternoon on the felony charges of possession a controlled substance and furnishing dangerous drugs to a minor, and a misdemeanor of violating pre-sentencing conditions, after being found with aerosol cans in a parking lot on Market Street.
Brett Michael Seslar was arrested after deputies were dispatched to the area in regards to a report of two subjects possibly using illegal drugs.
Deputies approached two subjects who were attempting to conceal items in their clothing. The deputy told them to reveal their hands, but both continued to put items in their clothing, according to the police report.
After they refused to show their hands, deputies detained both into handcuffs.
With Seslar was a 17-year-old girl, who was found with three cans of aerosol duster on her person and a fourth fell from her clothing when she was being detained.
Seslar told deputies that the girl was “going through a very rough time” and that he was trying to help her. He told deputies he and the girl had met up at a gas station and they were walking to his father’s house. On the way, they stopped behind the Market Street store and the girl took two hits off of the aerosol duster.
Deputies asked Seslar if he was trying to help the girl why was he letting her huff aerosol duster, and he said he was trying to stop her and he hadn’t used any of the duster himself.
The girl said she hadn’t huffed any of the duster and that it “would have made her sick.” When asked why then she had four cans of aerosol duster on her person, she said she was “holding it for a friend.”
The employee of the store who initially called in the report said he saw Seslar using some type of item that was in his hand. They said Seslar then started “acting like a zombie” and was hanging his head down.
The employee said they saw Seslar acted like he was injecting something into his arm, and it appeared the girl was wrapping his arm with a bandage.
Both were taken into custody. The girl was taken to the Carson City Juvenile Detention Facility and Seslar was taken to the Carson City Jail.
Bail: No bail hold from DAS; $22,500 after.
