Carson City deputies didn't have to go far to find Emily Scott, 27, who they arrested Thursday for felony drug possession.
According to the arrest report, a hotel employee where Scott was living before she and her roommate were arrested last month for probation violations said he found tin foil with what looked like heroin in it. Later he found a wallet stuffed under a mattress that contained papers with Scott's name on them, plus balloons of what looked like heroin and assorted prescription drug pills.
According to the report, a deputy questioned Scott at the jail, and she at first said the wallet was stolen, then denied the drugs were hers, and accused the deputy of planting them. The deputy then questioned the rooommate, and she said the wallet did belong to Scott.
Scott was booked for felony possession of a controlled substance, felony possession of prescription pills without a prescription, and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Bail was set at $21,132.
Update 3/28/11: The woman named in this report contacted us to dispute the information in the arrest report. She said she is 21, not 27, and wasn't homeless and living in this motel. She also claimed the charges did not stick because they were based on hearsay.
