Carson City arrests: Ex-felon booked for gun and suspected drug sale offenses
A 30-year-old man was arrested Monday for suspicion of being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm, possession of drugs with suspected intent to sell and other offenses, according to a Carson City Sheriff's Office booking report.
Zachary Ray Yarbrough of Carson City was taken into custody following an investigation. He also was arrested for suspicion of felony possession of a firearm while in possession of a controlled substance, possession of a firearm without a serial number, possession of cocaine, possession of more than 1 ounce of marijuana, no proof of insurance and driving with a suspended driver's license.
According to the booking report, a traffic stop was initiated in the area of North Minnesota and Ann streets. The vehicle's registered owner was Yarbrough, the sole occupant, who was driving with a suspended license. A K9 did an exterior sniff of the vehicle and alerted positive for drugs.
During the investigation the vehicle was searched, where two clear ziplock baggies contained approximately 14 grams of marijuana, a scale with a small amount of powdery substance and multiple small empty pink ziplock baggies that were not in a medical marijuana distribution packages. With the marijuana being found with the scale and empty ziplock baggies, CCSO officers suspected the drugs were for sales.
