A traffic stop on Interstate 80 led to a major drug seizure this week in Washoe County.

The sheriff’s office says it started when deputies stopped a vehicle traveling eastbound near Mogul Road. 

During the traffic stop, a WCSO K9 was deployed and provided a positive alert on the vehicle.

Following an investigation, deputies say they found about a pound of methamphetamine and 37.64 grams of fentanyl in the vehicle. 

44-year-old Brandye Koranne Eaton was arrested.

Eaton was booked into the Washoe County Detention Facility on several felony charges:

  • Possession with Intent to Sell a Controlled Substance (two counts)
  • Transport of a Controlled Substance (two counts)
  • Trafficking Fentanyl, 28–42 grams
  • Trafficking a Controlled Substance, 400 grams or more
