California Woman Busted with Stolen Truck, Drug Stash in Storey County

VIRGINIA CITY, Nev. – A 30-year-old Californian woman faces a laundry list of charges after Storey County deputies caught her driving a stolen U-Haul packed with drugs and stolen goods on Wednesday.

Kailey Odell, of California, was pulled over on Six Mile Canyon Road in a white Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck bearing the partially removed graphics of a stolen U-Haul. Deputies determined the truck had been stolen from Sacramento.

A subsequent search of the vehicle revealed a treasure trove of contraband, including:

• Narcotic pills without a prescription

• A wallet containing stolen ID information

Odell was promptly arrested and booked into the Storey County Detention Facility on a litany of charges, including:

• Possession of a stolen vehicle

• Tampering with a vehicle causing damage between $250 and $5,000
• Possession of stolen property
• Possession of a controlled substance (14-25 grams)
• Possession of a controlled substance (less than 14 grams)
• Use or possession of drug paraphernalia
• Possession of a dangerous drug without a prescription

Bond for Odell has been set at $46,995.00. It remains unclear how Odell obtained the stolen U-Haul and what her intended next steps were. Authorities are still investigating the matter and further details may emerge in the coming days.
