Drug raid in Dayton nets two suspects

One person remained in jail Wednesday following a raid on a Dayton home last week.

Christopher Dale Bell, 25, is being held in the Lyon County Jail on suspicion of felony possession of methamphetamine for sale, possession of methamphetamine, unlawful use of methamphetamine, possession of a stolen credit card, misdemeanor unlawful use of marijuana and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

Jaqlyn Rae Nykol Pettit, 20, was released on her own recognizance Monday on charges of felony possession of methamphetamine for sale, possession of methamphetamine, possession of a stolen credit card, misdemeanor unlawful use of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to the Lyon County Sheriff's Department, a raid at 317 Valley Vista Drive on Jan. 19 came about after a three-week investigation into methamphetamine sales.

When officers approached the home to serve the search warrant, Bell allegedly spotted them via a security system and attempted to elude police by climbing onto the rooftop of the home with a Bowie knife. He was arrested without incident. In the home, officers allegedly recovered 6 grams of methamphetamine.

Pettit was stopped a block from the residence while riding as a passenger in a vehicle. She allegedly carried with her 4 grams of methamphetamine.

Bell is being held on $11,117 bail.
