A 48-year-old Bend woman was arrested after police found more than 160 grams of illegal narcotics during a traffic stop. According to the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement, at approximately 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 19, a Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputy conducted a traffic stop on the suspect’s vehicle because of traffic violations and the reasonable suspicion that drugs were being transported in the vehicle.
At the start of the traffic stop, officers deployed drug detection K9 Keira, and the K9 alerted to the odor of illegal narcotics in the vehicle. CODE detectives were granted a search warrant for the vehicle, and during the subsequent search of the vehicle detectives located approximately 80 grams of fentanyl, 80 grams of methamphetamine, and more than 10 grams of cocaine inside the vehicle. Additional items in the vehicle were consistent with the distribution of illegal narcotics.
The suspect was taken into custody and sent to the Jefferson County Jail. This is an ongoing investigation, and additional charges may be filed.
CODE was assisted by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, and the Redmond Police Department.
