James Limosnero, 29, of Sibley, was arrested in the early hours of March 29 on Sheppard Street by Minden police.
According to the police report, an officer observed a black Dodge Ram operating with a faulty left taillight and driving left of center. The officer initiated a traffic stop, and upon approaching the vehicle, noticed Limosnero’s pupils were constricted.
Limosnero, when questioned about his activities, stated he was “just trying to program my TV, and I’m out stopping the web hackers,” exhibiting sporadic speech and an inability to maintain eye contact.
Following a frisk, the officer found a black 9mm Ruger in Limosnero’s waistband. Standardized field sobriety tests were conducted, which Limosnero consented to. However, he displayed signs of impairment during the tests, including swaying, inability to focus, and balance issues.
Limosnero was subsequently arrested and a search of his vehicle yielded two round green pills, later identified as methamphetamines. Although Limosnero provided a breath sample registering .000% B.A.C., a drug recognition expert was not available at the time of arrest. A methamphetamine field test kit confirmed the nature of the pills.
Limosnero was charged with possession of Schedule 2 substances, possession of a firearm with controlled dangerous substances, reckless operation, and failure to have working tail lights.
