A wrong turn on South Carson Street led to the arrest of a Carson City man Saturday night on felony drug charges.
A Carson City Sheriff's deputy stopped Anthony Honeycutt, 33, in the 4100 block of South Carson Street after the suspect reportedly tried to turn the wrong way and almost hit the deputy's vehicle. According to the arrest report, the deputy noticed a book on how to grow marijuana on the rear seat of the suspect's vehicle when he approached. He also noticed the smell of marijuana when talking to the suspect, and a plastic purple pail with baggies in it on the floorboard.
A police dog was brought in, and the canine signaled that he detected the presence of drugs. The suspect consented to a search of the plastic pail, which the report stated contained more than one ounce of marijuana. A search of the suspect's person found $2,110 in cash in his two front pants pockets, plus three pills of Diazepam and a wooden grinder.
The cash and the suspect's 2003 Hyundai Tiburon were seized.
Honeycutt was arrested for felony possession of more than one ounce of marijuana for sale, felony possession of a prescription drug without a prescription, and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Bail was set at $8,632.
