Ex-felon booked for failing to register, heroin paraphernalia possession

A 33 year-old Reno man was arrested Friday afternoon at 5:06 p.m. in the area of N. Lompa Lane and Dori Way for multiple misdemeanor offenses, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy reported, including drug paraphernalia possession and ex-felon failing to register.

According to the arrest report, a traffic stop was made on a brown Lexus sedan bearing expired registration on its license plates. The Sheriff's deputy conducting the stop made contact with the driver, who produced his driver's license on request but had no proof of insurance.

A records check on the driver showed two prior felony convictions from California for manufacturing marijuana and causing an explosion, the report said.

The driver had not registered in Nevada, so he was detained in handcuffs and patted down for weapons. The pat-down search recovered a butane lighter and multiple hypodermic needles commonly associated with heroin use. Three needles also appeared to have been used, the report said.

A K-9 unit arrived on scene to perform an exterior sniff of the suspect's vehicle and indicated a positive alert signs. An interior search of the vehicle ensued, recovered a hypodermic device disposal bin and Narcan, a medication used to combat the effects of an opioid overdose, the report said.

The suspect was subsequently taken into custody and transported to the Carson City Jail for booking.
