A Carson City woman awaiting trial on drug trafficking charges was picked up Tuesday for allegedly violating bail conditions by being under the influence of methamphetamine, and was booked again Wednesday on felony fraud charges.
Melissa Wyatt, 41, is being held in the Carson City Jail on suspicion of felony obtaining money under false pretenses and uttering a forged instrument.
According to the arrest report, Wyatt went into Tolman Jewelers on June 19 and wrote a $2,500 check on someone else's account for a diamond pendant and a diamond and ruby ring.
The check came back as a forgery, said Detective Bob Motamenpour in the report. After the jeweler contacted Wyatt and threatened to report her, a man came to the shop and returned the jewelry, the report states.
Wyatt, out on bail on a meth trafficking charge, also allegedly tested positive for meth use when visited by probation officers at her home Tuesday evening, said Motamenpour.
The trafficking charge stems from a traffic stop May 29. Wyatt was driving a car that allegedly contained methamphetamine, hypodermic needles and a loaded pistol.
Motamenpour said two additional felony charges involving theft and counterfeit checks are pending against Wyatt.
Wyatt owns the Wyatt Group, a consulting firm.
