🚨SCINT Busts Coos Bay Drug Operation, Seizes Fentanyl and Meth, Arrests Two🚨

On June 8, 2025, the South Coast Interagency Narcotics Team (SCINT) received a tip that Jennifer Johnson (42) and Brandon McClure (35), known controlled substances dealers in and beyond Coos County, were staying at the Motel 6 in Coos Bay. Detective Davis observed Brandon McClure exiting Room 241 and conducted a warrant check, confirming an extraditable California warrant for possession, purchase, or sale of controlled substances. Detective Davis then witnessed McClure cross Highway 101 toward a suspected buyer and engage in a brief exchange before returning toward the motel.

Detective Davis, clearly displaying his badge, exited his unmarked patrol vehicle and ordered McClure to stop, announcing he was under arrest. McClure fled on a motorized scooter, leading to a brief pursuit. Detective Davis and Sergeant Whittenburg apprehended McClure near the intersection of N 6th Street and Pine Avenue in Coos Bay. McClure was arrested for his outstanding warrant and felony eluding.

Officer M. Davis deployed narcotics K9 Katie, which alerted positively to McClure’s wallet. Based on this, Detective Davis obtained and executed a search warrant for Room 241 with assistance from the Coos Bay Police. Inside, officers detained Elisa Speaks, Nicklas Barnet, and Jennifer Johnson without incident. The search uncovered approximately 30 grams of suspected fentanyl, 3 grams of methamphetamine, $376 in cash, and evidence suggesting identity theft, which SCINT is further investigating.

McClure and Johnson were transported to Coos County Jail, charged with distribution, manufacture, and unlawful possession of methamphetamine and fentanyl. McClure was later extradited to California on his outstanding warrant.

SCINT’s ongoing efforts to combat fentanyl trafficking in Coos County resulted in the seizure of approximately 200 grams of fentanyl in June alone. While not all operations can be publicly disclosed, SCINT continues to target and apprehend local dealers.
