Carson City sheriff’s SET arrest pair on multiple drug charges, child endangerment

A man and woman were arrested Saturday on multiple felony drug charges as well as child endangerment after officers found narcotics during a warrant arrest by the Carson City Sheriff’s Office Special Enforcement Team at a West Nye Lane apartment.

Angolece Rice, 27, was taken into custody 3:45 p.m. at 330 West Nye Lane for the following: Conspiracy to violate the Controlled Substance Act, possession of methamphetamine, heroin and prescription drugs without a prescription, probation violation, possession with intent to sell, having a child present during controlled substance use, gross misdemeanor child endangerment and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

John Robert Staikoff, 27, was arrested at 5 p.m. at the address for the following: Three counts possession of a controlled substance, possession with intent to sell, conspiracy to violate the Controlled Substance Act, harboring a fugitive, having a child present during controlled substance use, gross misdemeanor child endangerment and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

The bust happened as officers were attempting to serve a felony warrant to Rice. The couple’s six-year-old child was at home at the time.

Rice was placed into handcuffs, while deputies looked for other subjects in the home, including Staikoff, who was arrested and subsequently booked on the same drug charges, and for also harboring a fugitive.

As officers looked in a bedroom they observed multiple balloons and a small baggie filled with black substance believed to be heroin. Based on the items seen, deputies applied for a search warrant, which was approved.

Among the items found after the search warrant was served was a toolbox unsecured on the floor where the child could reach. It contained a bag of white pills, two digital scales, a box of Suboxone, 4 baggies of pills, baggies of methamphetamine, a bottle of pills, 9 spoons with heroin residue, 3 methamphetamine pipes, a collection of baggies and foil with residue, 3 tooter straws, and an IV Narcan kit. Among the pills located were a variety of benzodiazepine that are controlled substances and available only through prescription.

Inside a bedroom desk officers found a bag with brown cotton believed to contain heroin and a collection of balloons, a purse in the bedroom contained two jars of methamphetamine with spoon and residue. Under the bed in the bedroom was a loaded syringe believed to be heroin, according to the arrest report.

The woman told deputies she and her son were making balloon animals. She said the bag deputies discovered on the dresser next to the balloons was indeed heroin. She admitted that although she tries to keep drugs away from her son, she has become sloppy about it lately, the arrest report states.

Based on the variety of drugs, scales and baggies the woman had, deputies believed her to be selling narcotics. The woman then told deputies that she and Staikoff purchase the drugs from a supplier in Reno and then bring them to Carson City to re-sell them.

She stated drugs are much cheaper in Reno and that is why they buy there. She stated both she and Staikoff set up drug deals but that they have “runners” to deliver the drugs. She also told deputies that Staikoff handles the money and drugs, and they make approximately $200 a week selling drugs. She said they sell drugs to make rent and pay bills.

Bail for Angolece Rice: No bail hold due to priority 5 warrant from parole and probation. Bail for remaining charges, $56,544. Total bail amounted listed for for John Robert Staikoff: $103,637.
