Six people were arrested Monday afternoon in the 3400 block of Sherman Lane after the Carson City Sheriff's Office Special Enforcement Team conducted a series of drug busts.

Mary Helen Migliozzi, 58, Debbie Diane Havener, 53, Jerry Lee Feise, 57, Donald McClain, 63, Amanda Stockton, 39, and Cheryl Ann Jacobsen, 44, were taken into custody for charges such as trafficking a level two controlled substance, conspiracy, possession of controlled substances, obstruction, and more.

According to the arrest report, a SET officer was patrolling when he noticed Jacobsen, a known methamphetamine user, pull into her residence on Sherman Lane. She was in the residence for less than 15 minutes, and then she and Migliozzi left the residence and drove off in separate vehicles.

Migliozzi also has a revoked driver’s license for DUI, according to the report. Migliozzi began driving erratically, changing lanes without signaling, and the SET officer stopped Migliozzi while another deputy conducted a traffic stop on Jacobsen.

K-9 Deputy Ivo conducted an exterior free air sniff around both vehicles, and alerted to drug odor on both.

Inside Migliozzi’s vehicle, they found 10 small plastic baggies in the center console, one of which had a trace amount of methamphetamine inside. She was also in possession of $789 in cash, according to the arrest report.

They found no drugs or paraphernalia inside Jacobsen’s vehicle and she was released with a citation.

Migliozzi told deputies she uses methamphetamine a couple times a week and knew it was in her vehicle. She said she purchased $20-$40 worth of methamphetamine at a time.

She then said she was feeling faint, her nerves were shot, and it appeared her legs were becoming weak. She said the money was from gambling, despite the fact that gambling winnings are paid out in larger bills, and she did not have a receipt.

Deputies found numerous text messages in her phone relating to drug sales over the previous two days.

While deputies were looking through the phone, a text message came up from what turned out to be Feise and Havener, saying that they went to a casino to pick up their drugs, but turned around and parked down the road at a pharmacy since they saw police.

Deputies messaged back asking what kind of car they were driving, to which they responded, a Saturn. Deputies then went to the pharmacy to locate the vehicle.

In the mean time, Migliozzi admitted to having drugs in her bra and handed over two baggies of methamphetamine weighing 2.4 grams, and 1.0 grams. She also said there would be more at her house.

At the pharmacy, deputies located the vehicle which contained Feise, Havener, and a dog; it appeared they were living out of the car, the arrest report states.

Feise told deputies he was in the parking lot to meet a friend. When the deputy told him they knew he was in the parking lot to buy drugs, he admitted they were going to get methamphetamine from Migliozzi and pay her back later.

According to Havener, she was in the parking lot to meet a friend to show her a coloring book. They told her they’d just arrested her dealer, and she admitted the phone number that had texted Migliozzi was her own.

According to the police report, “she admitted that she was trying to get ’s**t’ from Mary and confirmed the ’s**t’ in question was in fact methamphetamine.”

She also admitted there were methamphetamine pipes int he vehicle.

K-9 Deputy Ivo also did an exterior free air sniff around their vehicle, and alerted to the presence of drug odor.

Four methamphetamine pipes, several baggies with methamphetamine, and three pill containers with trace amounts of methamphetamine were recovered, the arrest report states.

The SET team then applied for a search warrant of Migliozzi’s house since she had said there would be more drugs there.

SET was aware that McClain was at work and would return home between 4 and 5 p.m. They decided to wait for McClain to arrive home first.

At 4:50 p.m., McClain arrived home and was contacted by SET officers. A deputy attempted to conduct a pat-down on McClain, who broke from the deputy’s grasp. He took a baggie of methamphetamine and a pipe from his pocket and threw them.

The baggie and pipe, which did not go far, contained approximately one gram of methamphetamine.

McClain told deputies that he had heard Migliozzi was arrested “through the grapevine,” and that he is a user of methamphetamine and has been dating Migliozzi for some time. He said he did not know she sold drugs, and did not know what they would find in the house.

While conducting the interview, the deputies were interrupted by “a person unexpectedly surrendering from the residence.”

Stockton came out of the residence and agreed to speak with deputies. She said she lived at the residence and paid Migliozzi $350 per month while working at a fast food restaurant. She said she did not know about any drugs in the house and that she only smokes marijuana.

The reporting deputy noted that during the interview, Stockton would start crying at bizarre times and her responses didn’t match her claim about not being involved.

She finally confessed that she had received a call from Jacobsen to say Migliozzi had been arrested and to go home and get rid of the drugs in the house. Stockton said she didn’t know where they were, and Jacobsen allegedly told her they were under the living room sofa.

She said she came home, found the drugs, and moved them to the back yard where she put them under the deck. She said she did it because she didn’t want Migliozzi to be in anymore trouble.

In the case under the deck, deputies recovered two baggies weighing 9.8 grams and 5.1 grams, along with baggies, a digital scale, along with additional baggies and methamphetamine pipes inside the house.

In Stockton’s bedroom, deputies found a bottle containing 19 Cephalexin pills, which are a prescription pill that Stockton did not have a prescription for.

Deputies confirmed that Jacobsen had called the fast food restaurant at 3:12 p.m., and Stockton had claimed she had an emergency and needed to go home a minute later.

Deputies went to speak with Jacobsen, who admitted she had called Stockton, told her to move the drugs, and where she could find them.
