RENO COUNTY — A 29-year-old man arrested in November has just now been formally charged.

Kirk Surdi was arrested by sheriff’s deputies when he was arriving at the Sunflower Motel, 322 E. 4th, on Nov. 28.

Deputies took him into custody on an arrest and detain order for violating his parole.

While searching the motel room, officers found his wife, 29-year-old Michelle Nicole Surdi, and a pill bottle containing methamphetamine. Both were arrested for having a seller’s quantity of methamphetamine and a digital scale.

Kirk Surdi is now charged with possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia with intent to distribute.

He has previous convictions for indecent liberties with a child, theft and burglary, and had been released from prison in August of last year.
