According to the report, deputies were called to a Bel Air Court residence for a unwanted subject. Dispatch advised the reporting party called to report her granddaughter, Stephany Alexander, was at the location and yelling and screaming at her and appeared to be under the influence of something. A deputy responded to the location and made contact with the granddaughter inside the front room of the home.
The deputy attempted to gather information about what was going on but the granddaughter stated she wanted to be left alone. The deputy instructed her to wait in her room while the deputy spoke with the grandmother, who is wheelchair bound and elderly.
The deputy asked the victim what happened. She said she allowed her granddaughter to stay in her home for approximately a month. Over the past week or so she had been going through all of her personal items and bedroom. She said Alexander has been screaming at her and causing her to fear for her safety if left alone with her, the report states.

She stated that Alexander had broken into her bedroom and stole her red card and other money, according to the report.
A deputy spoke with a person who is a friend of the victim and has helped her for the past 30 years. He stated he arrived to put locks on some of the interior doors for the elderly woman and witnessed the woman yelling and screaming at the elderly grandmother. He recorded the outbursts with his phone and played one of the videos, at which time the deputy was able to hear the woman yelling and cussing at the grandmother.
The arresting officer collaborated with another deputy investigating, who was also on scene and determined Alexander was verbally and psychologically abusing her grandmother causing fear for her health and safety, the report states.
Alexander was placed in custody for suspected elder abuse. A deputy asked if she wanted some of her property to go with her to Carson City Jail. She said she wanted her purse. She was escorted to her room where the purse was located.
A deputy searched the purse prior to bringing it into jail. Inside the purse the deputy located a red bag with flowers on it and inside the bag located a long orange cylindrical glass tube with a bulbous end and a significant amount of white powdery substance still inside, the report states.
The object is a methamphetamine pipe commonly used to burn and inhale methamphetamine and other illicit narcotics. The deputy also located several small baggies with white crystalline residue inside, a small blue and green plastic container with a small mirror and four tooter straws, a small baggy with three spherical balls that were located inside the red bag.
The woman was taken to jail without incident. A deputy searched through her wallet to ensure no other illicit items were inside.

— Two Carson City residents, Timothy James Bohannan, 52, and Sarah Nicole Gonzales, 29, were arrested Tuesday for suspicion of felony possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine, over 28 grams.
According to the booking report a deputy was patrolling the area of North Carson and Musser streets when they saw a vehicle with its rear license plate light burned out. The deputy made a traffic stop and observed the vehicle was occupied by two people, later identified as Bohannan and Gonzales.
The deputy advised them the reason for the stop and asked to see their identifications, vehicle insurance and registration. They both provided their identifications and continued to look for their insurance. The officer walked to their vehicle to complete a citation. Dispatch advised Bohannan was an ex-felon required to register. As the deputy worked on the citation, K9 Unit deputies asked the pair to exit the vehicle so that the K9 could do a sniff of the vehicle. The dog alerted to the presence of narcotics, the report states.
A search of the vehicle led to the discovery of 49 yellow pills in a glovebox, determined to be aspirin. A search of the trunk found a small backpack that contained a large torch, commonly used to smoke methamphetamine and a large baggie of methamphetamine, the report states. The bag weighed approximately 29.2 grams. When presented with the baggie the couple said they didn’t know who the bag belonged to, the report states. Both were placed into custody for possession of a controlled substance, 28-plus grams.
At jail the deputy asked for the man’s address so it could be entered into his booking sheet. The address did not match the address dispatch had on file for registration. When notified that the address did not match CCSO local records for ex-felon required registration, he provided one address and then an after thought, provided a second address. He said the final address he gave was his parents home and had been living there for a week. Neither locations matched the address dispatch had on file. Bohannan was additionally charge with ex-felon failure to register.
A deputy drove to Bohannan’s registered address in the 2000 block of West College Parkway and attempted to contact. There was no answer. The officer spoke with the manager who advised another person had been living alone at the apartment for approximately two years. The deputy then called Washoe County Sheriff’s Office dispatch and requested information on Bohannan’s registration in their county. Washoe County advised he was listed at a different address than he advised.
Bail for Bohannan and Gonzales: $50,000 each.
