District Court Report

The Tenth Judicial District Court convened Tuesday, April 25, Judge Thomas Stockard presiding.

Lacey Christine Marie Lumen appeared for a status hearing regarding an order to attend drug court. As Lumen lives in Winnemucca, it is not possible to do so there, and is impractical to do so here. The judge modified the conditions, ordering Lumen to complete a substance abuse evaluation and to follow the conditions thereof.

Jillian Olivia Yesslith, in custody, appeared for a review hearing regarding long-term treatment. Following discussion between Judge Stockard, Solutions on Sunset, Fallon Tribal Mental Health, Kyle Edgerton Esq, Probation and Parole, and Yesslith, Stockard modified the judgment of conviction and ordered Yesslith to enter and complete the Solutions on Sunset program.  She will remain in custody until she is transported to Las Vegas. 

Refugio Alanis-Sanchez pleaded guilty to the Category B Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance Mid-Level, which carries a potential penalty of 1 to 10 years in Nevada State Prison and a fine of up to $50,000, and a Category E Felony Possession of a Schedule 1 or 2 Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Sales, which carries a potential penalty of 1 to 4 years and a fine of up to $5,000. A Pre-sentence Investigative Report was ordered. Sentencing was set for July 18. 

Anahi Del Rosario-Saldena pleaded no contest to 2 Category B Felonies of Extortion. Each felony has a potential penalty of 1 to 10 years in Nevada State Prison and fines up to $10,000. ADA Lane Mills asserted the defendant contacted two individuals, represented she worked for Immigration, and if they did not pay her, they would be turned over for deportation, “And they did pay her thousands and thousands of dollars.”  Stockard ordered a Pre-sentence Investigative Report, and sentencing was set for August 8.

Michelle Nicole Davis, in custody, pleaded guilty to a charge of Attempt to Commit Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle. If sentenced as a Gross Misdemeanor, the possible penalty is 364 in Churchill County Jail and a fine of up to $2,000, if sentenced as a Category E Felony, the possible penalty is 1 to 4 years in Nevada State Prison and a fine of not more than $5,000. A Pre-Sentence Investigative Report was ordered, and sentencing was set for July 18. 

Casey Ryan White, in custody, appeared for sentencing on a Category B Felony of Driving Under the Influence of an Intoxicating Liquor or Controlled or Prohibited Substance Causing Death or Substantial Bodily Harm. White received 24 to 60 months in Nevada State Prison, a mandatory fine of $2,000, and ordered to pay restitution. Fees and assessments were imposed.

Chris Lee Rudisill appeared via Zoom. Following discussion, the judge issued a $10,000 bondable bench warrant due to Rudisill’s evasiveness regarding returning to Nevada. 

Darren Neil Albury, in custody, appeared for sentencing on a Category E Felony of Possession of a Controlled Substance, and a sentencing violation of Failure to Complete Drug Court. Albury was sentenced to 12 to 36 months in Nevada State Prison on the possession charge, and 12 to 36 months (concurrent) on the sentencing violation. Fees and assessments were imposed.

Collen Elizabeth Hooper, in custody, appeared on a probation violation of being removed from drug court. The judge rescinded diversion and sentenced Hooper to 19 to 48 months in Nevada State Prison, suspended, with 18 months probation. Hooper was ordered to serve 90 days in Churchill County Jail then reenter and complete the drug court program and complete a parenting program. Hooper will remain in custody until July 26, before being released to drug court. Fees and assessments were imposed.

Cameron Michael Matzen, in custody, admitted he had not meant the terms of his probation. Violation reports were filed regarding failure to report, financial conditions of probation, failure to enter and complete the Western Regional Drug Court, counseling, and absconding. Under an agreement between the state and the defense, the judge returned Matzen to probation with all the previous conditions. He was ordered to remain in custody until drug court and forfeit any good time. Stockard told Matzen, “If there wasn’t that negotiation, I’d send you to prison. I wouldn’t think about it. I think you have earned that.” 

Tyler James Rickards failed to appear for a Court Services violation. Brenda Ingram with Court Services reported Rickards has failed to appear for testing multiple times, and he has removed his SCRAM device. Jesse Kalter, Esq., Rickards’ retained attorney has been unable to contact the defendant. The judge ordered a $100,000 cash-only bench warrant and addressed Kalter’s Motion to Withdraw as Counsel regarding breaches of his retainer agreement with Rickards. The judge granted the motion.
