Man held on $1 million bail faces DUI charge

A man who was allegedly arrested with just over 3 pounds of methamphetamine between Carson City and Reno is in Douglas County Jail facing the least of his issues.

Kenneth Shawn Anderson, 47, was arrested at Carson City Jail on Feb. 20 on a warrant issued out of East Fork Justice Court in connection with a July 25, 2021, DUI arrest.

He appeared in court on Wednesday, where attorney Nadine Morton asked for an additional 30 days to try and work out a global resolution. Justice of the Peace Paul Gilbert set an April 12 hearing date. Anderson is being held in lieu of $1.1 million on three warrants from outside the county.

Anderson was clocked travelling 69 mph while racing another motorcycle north on Jacks Valley Road.

He was being held in Carson City after Tri Net Task Force investigators arrested him in November 2022 for possession of a pound of methamphetamine and three ghost guns.

According to court files, he is also facing $1 million warrants in Reno in connection with a drug trafficking arrest Dec. 4, 2020.

According to the Reno Police Department, detectives found 2.25 pounds of methamphetamine and a dozen stolen guns after a three-hour stand-off.

The Reno warrants were issued just days after his arrest in Minden.
