Aberdeen, WA – A large multi-agency drug investigation in Grays Harbor County resulted in the arrest of an Aberdeen man Wednesday after detectives allegedly recovered suspected fentanyl and a firearm from a residence on Karjala Road.
According to the Grays Harbor Drug Task Force (DTF), investigators executed a search and arrest warrant at a home in the 6300 block of Karjala Road in Aberdeen following an ongoing narcotics investigation. Detectives said they had previously conducted several controlled buys of illegal drugs from the location before moving forward with the warrant.
