Portland, OR – Deputies with the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office say a major drug seizure this week resulted in the arrest of a 34-year-old man and the recovery of methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cash.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, investigators with the Dangerous Drugs Team confiscated more than nine pounds of methamphetamine, a kilogram of fentanyl, and $40,000 during the operation. Officials say the arrest is part of an ongoing effort to curb large-scale narcotics trafficking in the Portland metro area.
The Sheriff’s Office noted that earlier this year, the same team carried out the largest drug seizure in the agency’s history, recovering more than 278 pounds of methamphetamine and two pounds of cocaine. Authorities said the multi-jurisdictional task force has been instrumental in targeting narcotics distribution networks across Multnomah County and beyond.
No additional details about the suspect’s identity or potential charges have been released. Deputies say the investigation remains active, and more arrests could follow as law enforcement continues to track regional drug activity.
Residents are encouraged to report suspicious activity related to narcotics distribution to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office.
