Pershing County’s 11th Judicial discusses drug court

People in Lovelock know Dylan Garretson, 24, as a soft-spoken and bright young man. Last year, he pleaded guilty to possessing a controlled substance, heroin. Word on the street is that heroin use is on the rise as evidenced by an increase in overdoses.  Judge Jim Shirley granted Garretson probation on the condition that he complete drug court, a course of court-supervised treatment. Pershing County’s Western Regional Drug Court accepted Garretson’s application in April 2020.  If he completed the program, he could withdraw his guilty plea and avoid having a felony on his record. The future looked slightly more hopeful.
