An officer met with the victim who said she woke up and her husband demanded money from her. She advised he is an alcoholic and drinks all the time. She told officers had to hide her wallet from him because he will steal money from her, the arrest report states.

She said he demanded money from her and tackled her on their bed. She tried to keep her wallet away from him but he took it and removed a $5 bill. He also took her debit card and wrote down the number. He later returned the wallet and debit card to her, the arrest report states.

— Three were booked into jail Thursday, 3:21 p.m. after a traffic stop in the area of Glacier and Gordonia Drive. Chase Douglas Rowe was arrested on a felony charge of possession of a controlled substance, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.

According to the arrest report, an officer assigned with the Carson City Sheriff’s Office Special Enforcement Team was patrolling in an unmarked car. At around 2:59 p.m. they were in the area of Glacier and Gordonia Drive. The officer observed an SUV occupied by three passengers. The plates on the SUV returned to an older male who lived in Minden.

Deputies made a consensual stop and the officer identified himself and asked if they could talk. The driver, 25, was asked for his identification, which he said he didn’t have an ID card. He said the SUV belonged to his father. He also said he might have a warrant out of Douglas County for failure to appear and a traffic citation.

The deputy collected the information and requested a K9 deputy to the location. Dispatch advised the driver had two confirmed warrants out of East Fork Township. Dispatch also advised the female passenger, 28, was on Alternative Sentencing with a search and seizure clause for weapons, drugs and drug paraphernalia.

The officer informed the driver of the warrants and asked if there were any drugs in the SUV. The driver stated there was not and stated: “go ahead search if you want.” The officer asked if a K9 could sniff the exterior of the SUV and the driver stated “yes, go ahead,” the arrest report states.

The K9 made a positive alert on the vehicle and it was searched. Deputies found a box of Camel cigarettes that contained heroin residue and paraphernalia under the floor board mat. The box contained tin foil with brown, burnt heroin residue, a metal spoon with brown residue and a cotton ball with brown residue, plus small plastic wrappers with residue, and an orange balloon. Under the front passenger seat, an officer found two used syringes with brown and red residue inside.

The officer made contact with passenger, Chase Rowe, 31, and asked him about the cigarette box and Rowe stated it was not his and denied knowing it was there. The officer spoke with the 28-year-old woman and asked her about the syringe and tin foil located near her feet and she also denied ownership. Because the drugs and paraphernalia were within proximity to the woman and Rowe, both were taken into custody. The driver was also placed into custody for the warrants.

Rowe faces a felony charge of possession of heroin, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Bail: $3,637. The 28-year-old female passenger was arrested on charges of misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia, and two counts violation of bail conditions. Bail: $7,137.
