Carson City deputies make separate felony drug-related arrests

A 32-year-old Dayton woman was arrested early Friday morning in Carson City and faces a felony charge of possessing drugs without a prescription and misdemeanor charges including driving on a suspended license for DUI, open container and violation of bail conditions.

According to the arrest report, Kelly Ann Hopkins, was arrested in the 2200 block of East William at 4:31 a.m. Carson City patrol officers in the area of Russell and East William street noticed a black SUV exit the bypass and turn onto Russell Way. The SUV turned into the parking lot of a casino, where Hopkins exited the vehicle and went inside leaving it running and, presumably, unattended.

Officers checked on the vehicle and noticed two intoxicated men inside. Both were slumped over and would not respond when the officer knocked on the window numerous times, according to the arrest report. The officer opened the passenger door and shook the front seat passenger who appeared grossly intoxicated. The front seat passenger and the male passenger in the back seat did not wake up.

A deputy went to the casino and returned the driver. She advised that her friends were drunk, but conscious earlier. Hopkins was able to shake her friends and got them to eventually wake up. An officer met with the men who did not request any assistance.

Meanwhile, officers ran a wants and warrants check on Hopkins. She showed that she had a DUI revoked license status from January 2013 to April 2013 and was in violation for driving. She also advised that she had been drinking, six hours prior but not recently. The woman provided a PBT sample free of alcohol. Alternative sentence requested the woman be placed on hold.

During her arrest there was an open bottle of vodka in an open backpack. Deputies located a pill container that contained four pill bottles. There were 28 prescription Caresoprodal, a schedul IV controlled substance, without a prescription. She was arrested and taken to jail. Bail: $6,764.
