A woman allegedly  brought a pellet gun into jail with her after being charged for an outstanding warrant.

Gallup Police Officer Aaron Marquez was dispatched to the Allsup’s convenience store, 112 Arnold St., on May 8 due to a woman who was allegedly on drugs. An employee had called in the incident, and they said the woman, identified as Lacosta Reeves, was outside of the store refusing to leave and bothering other customers.

According to Marquez’s criminal complaint, the caller said Reeves was throwing punches.

However, when Marquez arrived at the scene around 8:30 pm, the store clerk said that Reeves, 45, of Sanders, Ariz., hadn’t hurt anyone.

When Marquez spoke to Reeves, she said she was having a “bad day” and she was trying to buy some items from the store.

According to the report, Metro Dispatch told Marquez that Reeves had a warrant out for her arrest, and he arrested her for the warrant. Marquez then drove Reeves to the McKinley County Adult Detention Center.

Around 9:56 pm, Metro Dispatch called Marquez and told him that a pellet gun had been found on Reeves. He drove back to the detention center and met with Corrections Officer Regina Carr.

Carr said she was doing Reeves’s intake, she began to resist officers and became combative towards other inmates.

Reeves’s bag was searched, and that’s when they found the pellet gun. The gun did not have any pellets in it, but Reeves was still charged with bringing contraband into a jail. Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 25.
