Man jailed for parole violation while walking intoxicated

Jason Charles Stevens, 39, was arrested on Nov. 26 and charged with intoxicated person in the road and parole/probation warrant.

Police were called to the area of Gamebird Road and Pahrump Valley Boulevard regarding two possibly intoxicated males walking in the road.

Police subsequently made contact with both men who were identified as Stevens and a second male. According to the arrest report, police noted that Stevens stumbled several times into the travel lane but the other man was off the roadway on the gravel shoulder and out of danger.

As police spoke to Stevens, they reportedly smelled the odor of an unknown intoxicating liquor emanating from him and his eyes were bloodshot. Both men reportedly admitted to drinking the night before as well as having a “hangover beer” earlier in the morning.

Police subsequently learned that Stevens had a parole and probation warrant out for his arrest. After being arrested and transported to the Nye County Detention Center, Stevens was given a preliminary breath test which reportedly returned with a possible blood alcohol content of .305 percent.

However, police noted that they were unable to perform a secondary sample because of deficient breath results.
