A 30-year-old Carson City man was arrested Dec. 11 for suspicion of felony drug charges and being a person prohibited to be in possession of a firearm, a Carson City Sheriff's Office booking report states.

Tyler Christian Keogh was arrested at 1:13 a.m. in the 3800 block of Highway 50 East. According to the arrest report, an officer conducting patrols was in the area of North Edmonds and Gordon Street and noticed a vehicle that did not make complete stops at two intersections with stop signs. The officer initiated a traffic stop.

The man was reluctant to provide a driver's license and became verbally uncooperative, the report states. The officer instructed the man to place his hands behind his back so he could be patted for weapons. The man did not comply with the demand and instead put his hands in his pockets. The man was then placed into handcuffs.

Once the officer had moved the man away from the vehicle, he observed a black Sig Saur pistol box on the floorboard where the man's feet were, the arrest report states. When a second officer arrived the suspect advised that there was a gun in the glovebox. Officers removed the pistol. Officers requested a wants and warrant check from dispatch on the subject.

A K9 alerted positive to the odor of narcotics. Dispatch advised the man did not have a valid license. The man told officers there wasn't any narcotics in the vehicle. None were located in the vehicle. The officer asked the man if he could search the contents of his pockets for anything illegal. The man voluntarily and freely complied, the report states.

Officers located a small clear straw that had some white powder residue inside. Also located was a folded piece of aluminum foil with suspected heroin. He also informed deputies that he had methamphetamine in his underwear. He was allowed to retrieve it and gave the baggie to the officer, the arrest report states.

He was booked for suspicion of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, a felony, two counts possession of a controlled substance, driving without a valid license and failure to obey a traffic control device. Bail: $20,000.
