Two were arrested last month on felony drug, conspiracy and burglary charges after an investigation led Nevada authorities to a scheme where numerous fraudulent Veteran Affair prescriptions for Oxycodone were allegedly being filled on behalf of several who were not documented veterans.

On Feb. 22, 2018, the Nevada Department of Public Safety Investigation Division’s Tri-NET Narcotic Task Force arrested Russell Masset, 44, and Frances Revada Jr., 35, on charges that included unlawful transport, exchange, prescription, or administration of a controlled substance; conspiracy and burglary.

This was a joint investigation involving the Tri- NET Narcotic Task Force, the Regional Street Enforcement Team and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs-Office of the Inspector General’s Criminal Investigation Division.

Over the course of this investigation, which began in April of 2017, detectives learned that numerous fraudulent Veteran Affair prescriptions for Oxycodone were being filled on behalf of several individuals who were not documented Veterans.

The investigation disclosed that one of the arrestees, Masset, was formerly employed as a Physician’s Assistant by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The investigation continues and will examine whether any other persons were involved in criminal activity.

As the deputy spoke with the driver and the suspect, Angel Lee Webster, he noticed she appeared nervous.

As another deputy arrived to take over the citation process, the other prepared for a canine search. The deputy asked the two to exit the vehicle and asked the driver if he had any weapons, drugs or paraphernalia in the vehicle.

The driver stated he did not, and he did not consent to a vehicle search, the arrest report said.

The K9 officer, Ivo, then conducted a free-air-sniff search around the vehicle and alerted to the presence of drugs.

According to the arrest report, a man later identified as Randy Pirizo was allegedly smoking something from a pipe suspected to be methamphetamine in an open bathroom stall at a downtown establishment.

A customer told security of the incident and two security officers observed Pirizo in the restroom stall themselves, and alerting authorities.

Two Sheriff's deputies approached the suspect. One said, “Sheriff’s Office, you are being detained,” and gave Pirizo the command to give him his hands as the deputy took control of them.

Pirizo tensed up his right arm, pulled away and tried to enter his right jacket pocket. The other deputy came in to assist and a scuffle ensued as Pirizo continued to pull away and reach into his pockets, the report said.

A deputy was able to apply a handcuff to his left hand, but briefly lost control of Pirizo’s right hand. The deputy then bent Pirizo over at the waist and pushed him toward the ground. The other performed a leg sweep and they took Pirizo to the ground, the report said.

Pirizo continued to resist from the ground, attempting to stand up until the deputies managed to pin him to the ground and apply the other handcuff.

The deputies were uninjured, but Pirizo sustained a small laceration to his nose and complained of head pain. Carson City Fire/Rescue was called and provided minor treatment.

Pirizo was transported to the hospital for additional treatment, as he complained of head and facial pain, the report said.

In Pirizo’s right jacket pocket was two glass methamphetamine pipes. A security officer provided deputies with a wad of tissue paper containing approximately 0.2 grams of suspected methamphetamine.

The security officer stated Pirizo discarded it during the altercation. Total bail: $7,151.

Spring is calving season in northern Nevada, and it is an important and profitable time of year for cattlemen across the state. The Nevada Department of Agriculture reminds Nevadans to let lone calves be.

When passersby see calves alone near roadways, the animals are often mistaken as abandoned. People unfamiliar with cattle ranching may not know that cows leave their calves alone while they graze.

“Calf theft is a serious issue because the cost of production is extremely high,” Sam Mori, Nevada Cattlemen’s Association, said.

When calves go missing without explanation this time of year, it is often reported to the NDA as theft. Cattle theft is considered grand larceny under Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) chapter 205.220. Calves should never be moved, taken or otherwise disturbed.

“Stealing cattle leads to economic loss for the rancher and is a felony in Nevada,” Doug Farris, NDA Animal Industry division administrator, said. “If ranchers suspect a calf has been stolen, they should contact us as soon as possible. The sooner an enforcement officer can begin work on the case, the more likely the case will be solved.”

Individuals suspecting cattle theft are encouraged to fill out the livestock missing/theft form, and an enforcement officer will contact them about the theft.

The Nevada Department of Agriculture (NDA) promotes a business climate that is fair, economically viable and encourages a sustainable environment that serves to protect food, fiber and health and human safety through effective service and education. The NDA includes the divisions of Administration, Animal Industry, Consumer Equitability, Food and Nutrition and Plant Industry.

No visible signs of injuries were observed on the victim.

The suspect was then questioned. He appeared intoxicated, a Sheriff's deputy reported, with a strong odor of alcohol emitting from him.

Upon being questioned about the argument, the suspect denied hitting or touching the victim. He then began yelling and screaming profanities at the deputies, saying "f--- you," and "this is bulls---."

He was asked by deputies to stop, because he was making a scene and disturbing others at the park. The suspect refused, though, and continued using profanities toward the officers.

He did consent, however, to a preliminary breath test, which showed breath-alcohol content of .161 percent.

Carson City Dispatch made contact with the reporting party who had called in the complaint, the report said. This witness reported while at the park, she heard the male suspect yelling and cussing at the female victim. She said during their argument, the male suspect pushed the victim in the chest and then grabbed her arm aggressively, pulling her with him as he walked away.

Deputies handcuffed the suspect and transported him to the Carson City Jail for booking. Bail: $3,000.

— A 36 year-old Carson City man was arrested Thursday at 4:42 p.m. in the 3300 block of U.S. Highway 50 East on a felony probation violation with no bail hold, as well as misdemeanor excessive window tinting and operating a cell phone while driving, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy reported.

During pat down, Montez insisted he had no weapons on him, saying "I already told you I got nothing on me." He then began to turn toward the officer and pull his hands away. At that moment, he was placed in handcuffs and detained.

Exterior sniff by the K9 officer resulted in a positive alert of drug odor coming from the passenger side of the vehicle, the report said.

The vehicle was then searched and three marijuana dispensary bags were located inside. Montez admitted to recent use of marijuana.

His Nevada Parole and Probation Officer arrived on scene and after speaking with Montez, she requested he be arrested for violating his terms.
