A Wendover man, Eli Sireechat, was arrested in the MacDonalds parking lot on a bench warrant from Elko District Court.
Screech has an extensive criminal history mostly involving drugs.
He was arrested last year after he was seen aggressively offering women, the pain killer Vicodin, in exchange for sex.
According to police reports, Sireech approach three women sitting at a bar in a Wendover casino and offered them Vicodin pills.
Vicodin is a tablet containing a combination of acetaminophen and hydrocodone. Hydrocodone is in a group of drugs called narcotic pain relievers, and is often prescribed for sever pain.
The ‘high’ it gives is most often described as being similar to morphine or other opiates such as heroin or demerol.
It can also cause sever liver damage especially if taken with alcohol, which may be one reason why Sireech was so harshly rebuffed.
According to witnesses one of the women knocked the pills out of Sireech’s hand while another call 911. When police officers responded, the women pointed out Sireech who was still in the casino perhaps looking for friendlier prey.
At first Sireech denied even having drugs on him during police questioning. That statement was however contradicted by the bottle of pills protruding from the man’s shirt pocket.
The bottle contained in excess of 80 individual pills believed to be Vicodin, a prescription strength pain narcotic reliever.
Sireech also was found to have an outstanding warrant for his arrest. The warrant had been issued through the Eastline Justice Court.
Sireech was arrested and later booked into the Elko County Jail upon the following alleged offenses: Active Bench Warrant; Obtaining Illegal Prescription Drugs; Possession of Schedule 2 for sale (84 counts) 1 count per pill in the bottle.
Sireech’s bail at the time of booking was $426,197.
