Nye County Sheriff's deputies seized about 30 pounds of marijuana Saturday during a traffic stop involving a driver who admitted being impaired, according to reports.
Authorities said at 1:53 a.m. Saturday, a deputy noticed a red pickup truck turn onto Basin Avenue from Highway 160 without using a turn signal.
The deputy followed the truck, which was not maintaining its lane, and pressed for the vehicle to stop near Windsong Lane and Linda Street. The suspect continued another quarter-mile without stopping.
The 52-year-old driver, Andrea Rickman, eventually stopped the truck on Windsong Lane and approached the deputy, who determined she was impaired, officials said.
Another deputy made contact with the passenger, 52-year-old Richard Mosell, and smelled the odor of marijuana coming from the truck, authorities said.
Deputies located several five-gallon buckets and small jars filled with marijuana after getting consent to search the truck, authorities said. They also found a 12-gauge shotgun.
The police report says Rickman and Mosell admitted to smoking marijuana before driving.
Rickman was arrested in connection with DUI-narcotics, turning without a proper signal, failure to yield to an emergency vehicle, conspiracy to commit a crime, prohibited person with a firearm, possession of drug paraphernalia, conspiracy to possess a controlled substance and being under the influence of a controlled substance, authorities said.
Mosell was charged with conspiracy to commit a crime, prohibited person with a firearm, possession of drug paraphernalia, conspiracy to possess a controlled substance, being under the influence of a controlled substance and the unlawful use of marijuana, authorities said.
They were booked into the Nye County Detention Center.
