The Central Oregon Drug Enforcement Team concluded a long-term investigation with the arrest of a 33-year old Prineville man last Sunday.  As a result of an anonymous tip, drug agents identified the suspect as a fentanyl distributor in Crook County and the central Oregon region. The initial investigation alleged he was importing controlled substances from the Portland area into Crook County.

Based on the investigation and several surveillance operations, CODE detectives applied for and obtained a Search Warrant for the rental car he was driving.

During a search of the rental car, investigators located a commercial quantity of counterfeit pharmaceutical pills made of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and heroin.
