District Court, July 30

District Court, July 30

The Tenth Judicial District Court convened Tuesday, July 30, with Judge Thomas Stockard presiding.

Duane Edward Walsh appeared for a Status Hearing on the Category E Felony of Possession of a Controlled Substance (methamphetamine) to which he pled guilty on July 9.  Court Services reported that Walsh has failed to check in by phone since July 14 and has missed testing on July 24 and 25. Before his hearing, Walsh tested positive for THC and alcohol. Deputy District Attorney Aaron Thomas said the state feels bail would be appropriate. Churchill County Public Defender Wright Noel agreed a sanction would be suitable and asked that Walsh’s probation be revoked for one week. Walsh explained that his phone was broken and that he had since gotten a new one. “I knew I was probably going to be remanded into custody today, yet I still showed up,” said Walsh. Judge Stockard inquired about Walsh’s use of marijuana and drinking, to which he replied he was scared to death and had no excuses. Judge Stockard told Walsh, “I should remand you to custody… I’m going to do something different.” Stockard reinstated Walsh to Court Services with daily testing and suggested he find some positive things to do with his time between now and sentencing in September. 

Jerry Linsey Bokori appeared for sentencing on the wobbler charge of Attempt to Commit Possession of a Stolen Vehicle, which may be sentenced as a gross misdemeanor or a Category C Felony.  Having pled guilty to the charge in May, Chief Deputy DA Lane Mills stated that the defendant has “kind of a track record of not complying with the court, which makes the state a little bit concerned.” He also informed the court that Bokori has two active warrants in Storey County. “If the court is inclined to give him an opportunity at probation, then we would suggest that something needs to happen to get his attention,” concluded Mills. CCPD Wright Noel told Judge Stockard that Bokori resides in Utah, yet he has been cooperative and responsive, stating, “He is present for the arraignment here in person. Judge, I think through his actions here, he has shown he is able to comply with whatever terms are placed on him.” Sommer asked that Bokori be placed on probation and be allowed to return to Utah. Stockard deemed the charge a felony, granted Bokori probation on a suspended sentence of 16-46 months in prison, and imposed a $1,000 fine. Bokori must remain in Fallon until he receives permission from the Division of Parole & Probation to return to Utah. Bokori was remanded to custody for transfer to Storey County. 

Carlos Martin Quevedo-Beltran, aka Carlos Alfredo Quevedo-Beltran, in custody, pleaded guilty to the Category E Felony of Possession for Sale of Documents or Personal Identifying Information to Establish False Status or Identity, which carries a potential penalty of 1-4 years in a Nevada State Prison and a fine up to $5,000. The factual basis stated that on February 5, 2024, Beltran did possess a social security card and other cards in a name other than his own, which he used to find employment in the United States. Judge Stockard ordered a Pre-Sentencing Investigation and set sentencing for October 1.

Justin Lee Overson, in custody, appeared for sentencing on the Category E Felony of Possession of a Controlled Substance (methamphetamine), to which he pled guilty on July 16. Judge Stockard granted Overson probation on a suspended sentence of 12-32 months in prison. In addition to standard conditions of probation, Stockard ordered Overson to clear up an open New Mexico warrant, obtain a substance abuse evaluation, and follow the recommendations therein. Overson was remanded to the custody of the Churchill County Sheriff pursuant to his active warrant. 

Continuances: 

  • Corey Wayne Bennett’s status hearing was continued to October 29.
  • Donald James Knight’s arraignment was continued to August 6. 
  • Christopher Allen Montooth’s sentencing was continued to August 6.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
