Police arrested one man for the second time in four months this week for allegedly selling methamphetamine from a home on McGraw Road.
Ronald Dean Smith, 47, was arrested early Monday evening after Nye County Sheriff’s deputies learned that he was allegedly dealing illegal narcotics again from his residence located at 4501 E. McGraw Road, where he was previously arrested in August on similar charges.
According to a declaration of arrest in the case, around 9:50 a.m. an officer observed a woman violating two pedestrian laws by walking in the roadway.
The deputy stopped the female on Jane Avenue across from the residence, at which time a routine records check alerted him that she had a warrant.
After being taken into custody, the woman was searched and a small plastic baggie with green dollar signs on it that appeared to contain methamphetamine was found.
The woman was then read her Miranda Rights at which time she allegedly confessed to police that she had purchased $20 worth of meth from a man named “Deaf Ron” at his residence, located at 4501 E. McGraw Road.
Officers noted in the report that “Deaf Ron” is the known street name for Smith.
Officers then obtained a search warrant for Smith’s home, which was served later that day around 5 p.m.
According to a second declaration of arrest in the case, during a search of Smith’s residence, police found 2.1 grams of methamphetamine, in the same packaging as the woman arrested earlier that day.
In Smith’s bedroom, officers reportedly found a scale, packaging material, a smoking device known as a “quag” and less than one ounce of marijuana.
Deputies also found two used hypodermic devices tucked inside of a sock above the washer in the home as well.
After discovering the methamphetamine Smith was allegedly selling this time, he was placed under arrest.
He was transported to the Nye County Detention Center to be booked into custody, where a blood draw was conducted to test for illegal narcotics in his system.
Smith’s bail is currently set at $33,185 between the two cases he is in custody for, $18,185 in one and $15,000 in the other. As of Thursday morning, he remained in the custody of the sheriff’s office at the detention center.

More evidence of the catch and release program run by our judicial system here.
Wouldn’t it help matters if drug dealers were sentenced to prison terms rather than let out of jail to ply their trade even more? And why is this guy loose to begin with, he should be in jail awaiting trial.
The policy here is to turn every drug dealer into a C.I. so they can not do there job if they are in jail. They get protection from the Sheriff’s office, they are not to be arrested, stop, or detained. Unless an OK is given by higher ups.
The scary thing is you actually believe the crap you spew.
“Ok by the higher ups” – now that’s funny.
SEND HIM TO JAIL FOR A VERY LONG LONG TIME,,
Time to enact the best punishment when it comes to dealers….DEATH!
The Nye County Sheriffs Office employs these “Detectives” who then
go out into the field and sometimes “start” doing their job by
deploying certain tactics and procedures. Some are ethical above board, and legal.
Unfortunately, some are very unethical, immoral, and down right
illegal! Example, is anybody aware of a common practice that the
NCSO detectives currently use (past, present, and most likely
future) when keeping track of criminal activities? One I’m aware of
is called keeping records called “Pencil Files.”
This is where
detectives use their “discretion” when it comes to what crimes they
report (charges they publicly file) and what crimes they use to
“EXTORT” the individuals they catch committing these crimes to go out and commit more crimes.
By leading these people to think they will get something out of it.
Whether it be leniency, lesser charges, all the way up to making
their problems go away for “helping” the detectives propagate more
criminal activity.
Thus generating more crime, and more “need” for more law enforcement.
The whole sick system perpetuates itself over and over and over at
the expense of the Tax payer. If the truth were to be told (yeah
right, you think the good ol boys network is going to give up their
hard earned power, you have another thing coming) how much of the
total criminal activity anymore is being directly instigated by none
other than the NCSO themselves at the expense of the tax payer?!
All to just let 98% of the people they catch (and re catch) back out
to create more crime and extort more funds from the state coffers
because the crime rates sooooo high, and now more funding is needed
to deal w/ the problem “THEY’VE” created!!
I’m sorry, but isn’t propagation of criminal activity ILLEGAL, I
could swear there’s a N.R.S. code or two that covers this.
MAYHEM maybe? Hmmm, what about extortion? Couldn’t the RICO Act even be applied here? The only difference between the NCSO detectives (most of them anyways) and the people they arrest, is the badge.
Well people, this is the type of behavior we have, and can expect
from the NCSO since they have been allowed to operate unchecked and
unchallenged for so long with no change in sight!
“Pencil Files”, Yeah, riigghhtt …..
