A 46-year-old Raymond man was arrested at his residence Friday on charges including heroin and methamphetamine possession and distribution of heroin.
The Pacific County Sheriff’s Office served a narcotics-related search warrant on the residence in the 400 block of 12th Street. The search yielded more than three ounces of suspected heroin, three-quarters of an ounce of suspected methamphetamine, over $2,000 in cash and a large amount of drug paraphernalia indicative of sales and use, said Chief Criminal Deputy Pat Matlock.
The owner of the residence was arrested and housed in the Pacific County Jail for charges relating to possession of heroin with intent to deliver, possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver, and three counts of delivery of heroin. His bail was set at $100,000.
The arrest was the result of a joint investigation involving the Sheriff’s Office, Shoalwater Bay Tribal Police and the Raymond and South Bend police departments, said Matlock.
“Raymond Police investigators played a critical role in gathering and observing crucial information, following up on citizen tips and utilizing confidential informants to secure the warrant,” said Matlock.
“The effectiveness of our joint partnerships was shown in the scope, professionalism and results of this investigation,” said Raymond Police Chief Charles Spoor. “With the hard work, dedication and teamwork displayed by all of our officers and deputies, we are really starting to have a more positive effect on our communities.”
