COMMUNITY TIP LEADS TO DRUG SEIZURE

Around midnight on June 2nd, a vigilant community member reported a suspicious vehicle parked near NW 185th Avenue and NW Eider Court. Officers contacted three individuals inside the car. One of them, Benito Escalera (42), was found to have three outstanding warrants for his arrest out of Forest Grove.

Further investigation led to the seizure of approximately 12 grams of Fentanyl, dozens of small baggies, and cash. Escalera was arrested for his outstanding warrants and charged with Possession of a Substantial Quantity of Fentanyl. The other two individuals were released without further incident.

We thank our officers for their swift action and the community member whose call helped bring this situation to a safe and successful resolution. If you see something suspicious, please don’t hesitate to report it.
