Police Search in Lyon County Uncovers Meth
This month the Lyon County Sheriff's Office served a search warrant on six Silver Springs residents following a two-month investigation of alleged methamphetamine sales. Law enforcement reportedly found several grams of meth and some marijuana. Eventually four of the residents were arrested, one was cited, and the other was initially released but will be facing charges.
There are several different types of warrants in Nevada including search warrants. A search warrant gives law enforcement the right to search a certain area for certain items. A judge may not grant police a search warrant unless the police have probable cause to believe it relates to criminal activity.
Other types of warrants in Nevada include bench warrants and arrest warrants. A judge grants police an arrest warrant if they have probable cause to believe the suspect committed a crime. A judge issues bench warrants in Nevada whenever they deem that the defendant violated a court order or other judicial protocol.
