The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office has arrested 10 people this morning in the Randle area following a months-long drug investigation.
Deputies, along with three other law enforcement agencies and the state Department of Corrections, began their operation at daybreak, according to the sheriff’s office.
Officers are currently conducting searches at three different locations in Randle, Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown said in a news release.
One person was picked up on a warrant, but the rest have been booked into jail for delivery of methamphetamine, according to Brown. More arrests are expected, according to Brown.
The morning raids – dubbed Operation Big Bottom Bust, named for the Big Bottom Valley in which they took place – are being conducted by the sheriff’s office regional task force.
Assisting were officers from the Morton Police Department, the Chehalis Police Department and the Pacific County Sheriff’s Office. Brown said about 25 personnel are taking part.
Brown, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, said she did not know yet if any drugs have been found. Their work isn’t done.
“I don’t really know how long they will be out there, it could be hours,” she said.
Brown indicated the residences visited were located on the 100 block of Morris Road, the 100 and 200 blocks of Kiona Road, the 100 block of Falls Road and the 100 block of Ridge View Drive.
The arrested are:
• Keith Allen Sanders, 42, Delivery of meth
• Marty Joe Mullins, 48, Delivery of meth
• Chris Edward Green, 58, Delivery of meth
• Jason A Green – 24, Delivery and possession of meth
• Jack Wayne Mullins, 57, Delivery of meth
• Diane Lynn Allison, 52, Delivery of meth
• Robert Delano LaChance Sr, 50, Delivery of meth
• Byron Otis Daily, 42, Delivery of meth
• Leah Danyale Williams, 24, Delivery of meth
• Robert M Church, 48, Felony warrant

I want to say to all those people that go accusing people of things like being a snitch or the one Who is doing the controlled buys all I have to say is unless you see it on paper or know for a fact it’s true you all need to keep your mouths shut cuz all ur doing is starting bunch of bullshit drama that isn’t nessasary
You know who’s a doper when they talk about passing a drug test as if it’s a big deal!
Here’s a news flash. Sober is Normal!
Now now, sunshinegirl, you’re passing judgment. All the enablers tell us we’re not supposed to do that, remember?
And Jenna, Jon Stewart hosts The Daily Show on Comedy Central. He’s a satirist. Another example would be Dennis Miller’s guest spots on The O’Reilly Factor.
MeeDee , Hell ya I can pass a drug test and a spelling test . Can you???? Bet the rest of the people on those THREE roads are glad to see all your friends gone.
Just who the hell do u people think you are? How dare u judge these people. U have no right to say anything. Period. I live in eastend and i happen to kno all of them. And i live on the same rd. To so how about it ? Let me talk smack about all u perfect people. How many of u could pass a drug test? And as far as ur local law enforcement goes. Well i’ll just leave it at that. I wish my friends the best of luck in the long days ahead and my thoughts r with u always. Hey did u hear what happened.?
Whoo Hoo! Here we go again!!
“It doesn’t bother you that this asanine ‘task force’ pulls law enforcement officers out of other areas, leaving them virtually unprotected?”
Nope. Because what you say is once again JUST NOT TRUE!
At least three of the deputies volunteered to do this on their day off, i.e. no pay, no comp time just donated to do the right thing. The rest of the team is made up of Deputies from the Sheriff’s Office, Officers from the local Cities, Detectives, even looks like a Trooper or two tagged along. So no one agency left an area “virtually unprotected” as you “spewed forth”.
“I’m well aware of who commits the crimes. But until law enforcement is able to actually pin drugs on them, (in order to get MORE Federal Grants to fight the ‘War on Drugs’) they do nothing. They don’t care.”
Look at the booking list for the Jail. They were all but one arrested for drug charges. That’s what those controlled buys are all about. Not arresting for what you find after the search, but arresting for what was done before the search. If the cops didn’t care, then why did at least three of them take a day off of work to bust some dopers?
“Do you actually read the news? How many times have law enforcement kicked in the WRONG DOOR, and killed innocent people?”
Which has absolutely nothing to do with this story about arresting druggies now does it? It also makes it sound like huge numbers, but what the heck you asked, so I looked it up.
In Lewis County, I don’t recall ever hearing of so much as one since the 70’s, so I went on line. As it turns out, in ALL of the USA, according to the CATO Institute there were by the years this many deaths from police raids on the wrong homes:
2011 – 2
2010 – 2
2009 – 0
2008 – 2
2007 – 0
2006 – 1
And the death statistics for meth from “Recovery First . Org”
“In fact, each year there are approximately 15,000 deaths in the US related to stimulants like meth, and nearly 8% of all emergency room admissions in 2009 were related to use of methamphetamine.”
As for the last of your quotes:
“And you think I’M the knucklehead.”
Well, the hat does appear to have something of a custom fit to it considering what your saying is only false; again.
Pot Stirrer , If you do not live in this area and I mean RANDLE then you do not know what we know and I’m sorry you hate Law Enforcement for whatever reason , but where I live here in RANDLE we actually have helpful officers who live here also , and their children live here. They are just like the rest of us, human not super heroes just people. I have always been treated with respect by them and guess what I’m just a regular person too. You should not comment on what you do not know , and my guess you do not know squat about Randle.
After being burglarized (twice) by these poor misunderstood meth addicts and dealers, I applaud the Sheriff’s office in being proactive in the pursuit of these dregs and drags of society. We work hard for what we own just to have these piecers come and steal it. You will never find me feeling sorry for these tweakers. I feel sorry for the folks who raised them to be good productive members of society and had to watch as they turned out like these losers. Again, Thank You Lewis County Sheriff’s Office for being proactive. Now if the Judges will just take it seriously……
Looking at that list of names I’m not seeing any first time offenders. I’m sure the burglary rate in the east end will take a dramatic drop. Free Air is exactly right sting that Meth use is not a victimless crime. Lewiscountysociety sucks can’t figure out that the charge is Delivery of Meth…. not Possession of Meth. Maybe a few to many hits on the pipe or needle has clouded his/her brain. Sure sounds like a dismal attempt by one tweaker to justify why his or her suppler won’t be available for a while.
I’m sure as these rats are questions they will roll on anyone they can to try and weasel out of the charges. We’ll see more arrests from this bust….can’t wait to see who the next 10 will be.
Sunshinegirl spewed forth:
Really pot stirrer? Who do you think commits the property crimes and burglary ? Tourists ? Have you ever lived by Tweakers ? Should the police go to their door and knock politely ? You are the Knucklehead .
My response:
Yes, really.
It doesn’t bother you that this asanine ‘task force’ pulls law enforcement officers out of other areas, leaving them virtually unprotected?
I’m well aware of who commits the crimes. But until law enforcement is able to actually pin drugs on them, (in order to get MORE Federal Grants to fight the ‘War on Drugs’) they do nothing. They don’t care.
I’d certainly call the people that robbed the jewelry store tourists. Crime tourists.
Yes, I’ve lived by tweakers. Those folks are bad news.
Do you actually read the news? How many times have law enforcement kicked in the WRONG DOOR, and killed innocent people?
And you think I’M the knucklehead.
This conversation has gone so far from reality that we have no common ground to build from. I would however like to point out something that really puts my hackles up, which of course is what you were hoping to accomplish.
Somehow there are a few on this list that pull numbers or phrases out of thin air then post them as if it were fact, then keep building on the crap in an attempt to create a conspiracy where none exists. I don’t know if it’s out of ignorance, too much TV, bad meds or just getting a kick out of spreading lies at other’s expense. The effect is to degrade what would otherwise be a learning conversation for us all into an anything goes exercise in libel.
For example:
“This is strange, because I was under the impression that when a “Big Drug Doer/Dealer” gets busted that more then usual they are carrying “DRUGS!” I think that most of these were picked up at their own residences, so WHY were there NO DRUGS found? ODD, don’t you think?”
Well, I cared enough to ask, and the answer is not necessarily, and not often. Most drug busts in the real world (not TV) are a result of controlled buys. Someone buys some dope, gets ripped off in quality or quantity then decides to make a couple of bucks by turning the supplier in. That person goes back and buys some more dope with marked money or trade an item(s) for the drug. That dope is lab tested for content. Then using the statement from the buyer, the WSP Lab test results and any other witnesses, a warrant is applied for through the court system. If granted, and once in hand, the planning for the drug bust can begin. The dealer is arrested on what they can prove; the controlled drug buy. Sometimes they find other drugs, but not always.
And another one:
“They keep the community believing that the terrible drug is meth because this too is their drug of choice. Really, how do you think that they can do a 36 hour non stop investigation and stay alert? Think about it. They don’t hype up the other drugs and problems because they don’t do them, so why bust them, that would just be more paper work, when they can stay on meth and get their fixes free, plus paid a bonus.”
Not sure where to start on this one. Ever see a tooth rotting skinny Cop? I doubt even donuts can keep meat on a tweeker.
There are no 36 hour non stop investigations done by only one person or squad. There are detectives that start then pass over the information to the next squad, while answering to the lead detective. The normal shift for a deputy is around 10 hours, with special permission required to go beyond 14. Unless it’s an emergency like the 2007 flood nobody puts in 36 hour shift.
So, what possible reason do you have to post this sort of meaningless crap as fact? If you really get a kick out of starting a fight, then walk into bar and loudly ask who makes a better truck, Ford, Chevy or Dodge. But posting here and trying to pawn it off as fact only brands you a “less than honorable” person who seeks to do damage to the very people sworn to protect our communities.
If you got questions, then just ask; it’s not that hard. The Sheriff’s Office phone number is 748-9286 as listed on their webpage. Try it!
Hey Society Sucks. Do you actually live in Randle ? Do you know these people ? Are you delusional or what ? Judgemental ? Are you kidding ? You must be, or you just relate to them right ? We who live here actually know these people and their children and their parents and in some cases their Grandparents ,it is not called judgement , it is reality. Is it sad ? HELL ya, it is awful but it is reality, and not just in Randle either. Do I understand loved ones defending them YES , sadly we all have blinders where our loved ones are involved , but we who live here know exactly what goes on as in every little town. It is METH . They deny all the time but when you watch a neighbor you have known forever age 30 years in 5 years and lose all their teeth , and weight, and are covered in creepy sores , the list goes on, am I just being judgemental ? Either you are one of them or you are nuts either way you are the one who sucks!!!!!
Isn’t Jon Stewart the Lewis County CI Contact that lives in Packwood? Doesn’t he buy weed?
Just curious, it is all hearsay. So does any of you judgmental high horses know if they ever found any drugs? Because, this would be, what?, the 2nd “big LC drug bust” that was busted without the find of any drugs. Hmmmm!!!! This is strange, because I was under the impression that when a “Big Drug Doer/Dealer” gets busted that more then usual they are carrying “DRUGS!” I think that most of these were picked up at their own residences, so WHY were there NO DRUGS found? ODD, don’t you think?
I feel that Eloise Pugh is exactly correct. Most of thieves stealing from you people are the pill poppers and the heroin addicts these people actually feen for their next highs, a meth head does not feene to the point of burglary, but pill poppers and heroin addicts do, so start to do some in depth research about the people addicts their drug of choice and the with drawl process, you might be real surprised what you read. Also, the cops are corrupt to the point of use. They keep the community believing that the terrible drug is meth because this too is their drug of choice. Really, how do you think that they can do a 36 hour non stop investigation and stay alert? Think about it. They don’t hype up the other drugs and problems because they don’t do them, so why bust them, that would just be more paper work, when they can stay on meth and get their fixes free, plus paid a bonus.
Oh well, you people are so much better then, you can have your judgmental ideas and thoughts, but one day some where with in your little family you will experience it, you are not immune.
Really pot stirrer? Who do you think commits the property crimes and burglary ? Tourists ? Have you ever lived by Tweakers ? Should the police go to their door and knock politely ? You are the Knucklehead .
Eloise Pugh says:
“I can name at least 6 current law enforcement officers that I know for a fact that actively bust drug dealers & users who are addicts themselves.”
And your protecting them why?
I’ll call BS on that one.
If you got the names and proof, then put them out there. An addict has no place in law enforcement. Sit down and call the local press or FBI office if you really believe there are Officers, Troopers or Deputies who are active in the drug trade. By not standing up, your only assisting the problem. Unless of course, my first call of BS is spot on.
Free Air You are spot on with your comments. Just Because a good person is related to or know one of the meth freaks does not make these scumbags “decent people ” because of your association with them. Their actions speak volumes. They are only to be pitied ~ Not Praised!!
Hear, hear, Amazed!
Everything you say is true.
That means they aid and abet crimes in order to fight crime.
… I’m sorry, do what?
That’s right, folks.
Crooked as a dog’s hind leg.
Neat, so while they’re wasting time and resources, there is a lowered law enforcement presence in Chehalis, Morton, and the rest of the county.
Catch the photo of their APC? (Armored Personnel Carrier)
At what point are people going to realize militarization of police is a BAD THING?
So, we jail a few methheads, who then take MORE resources, while high risk sex offenders walk free. (You were notified, it’s YOUR fault if they reoffend, right?)
Meanwhile, property crimes go uninvestigated, traffic laws are flagrantly violated, and vandalism remains unfettered.
Yet here we have bunches of people cheering these knuckleheads on. Meh.
it’s about time lewis county stepped up to the plate! I hope there is no children involved but if there was I hope the parents lose all the rights as parents…I can only hope the children get a chance to live the life they deserve to live and not get the run around through the system!
While we’re eradicating meth, we could also eradiate tobacco its filthy users who:
Put others at rist when they don’t have their precious nicotine, who stink, who overburden the tax payers with their own health problems caused by smoking tobacco.
Kids who develop asthma from second-hand smoke and kids to end up being smokers becuase mommy and daddy say it’s A-OK!!!
It’s not just the meth users who are hurting themselves and the others around them.
Thanks Free Air I could not have said it better.
Same people, committing the same crimes, over, and over, and over, and over. At what point are the tax payers of Lewis County going to get sick and tired of dragging these people, who are NOT good people by the way, to the court house over, and over, and over, only to be set loose on Monday? Here is an idea, throw these pukes in the can and leave them there. That is where they belong. And address the damn addiction epidemic!! Putting band aids or blinders on, will never make this problem go away~
“They`re not hurting anyone except there selfs.”
You forgot to add:
The working people they feed off of by stealing and robbing.
The children who are conceived in their drug infested bodies and brought into the world neurologically damaged beyond the ability to heal.
The people who are injured or killed when the come in contact with them while they are high. (Remember the lady who was killed in Winlock by tweekers who thought she saw them using?”
The schools and teachers who now have to deal with neurologically damaged kids.
The kids who get get exposed to meth via other kids at schools.
The property owners next door who have to abandon their water wells when the water table gets contaminated by the chemicals that were dumped down the drain.
The tax payers of Lewis County who have to fund the cleanup of above mentioned property, kids and schools.
The already stressed child protective services / foster care system.
Need I go on, or were these just misunderstood medical meth users?
People are not arrested for who they are. They are arrested for what they do!
Meth dealers and users are a cancer that needs to be cut out of our communities before they destroy more lives. Kudos to those who are willing and able to put them in jail.
The story said “MONTHS long” investigation….but who cares…it doesn’t matter because if this was such a big bust, then why aren’t they busting people all over the state and other states? I call this a diversion or whatever to keep citizens off their backs…Lewis County LE has been crooked since before my grandpa can remember!! And I’m a grandparent…I say every dog for their selves….
why dont you enlighten me and tell me yourself, Who is “Jon Stewart???”
Guiltybystander , I’ll go ya one better we can sell the shirts and make some money to replace the stuff these people steal from us whenever we leave our homes to go to work five days a week so welfare can feed their children while they sell their foodstamps and pawn our property for drugs.
Really Smurf ? These are all really wonderful people? Well I am from that area also and these are not wonderful people and meth is not their only problem. My son lives next to a fella who hosts these folks on a regular basis and whenever they come around things go missing on a regular basis. They do not get up and go to work five days a week. They do not support their children my tax dollars do. I have known some of them all their lives and they are not wonderful people . Ask their children how wonderful that life is , oh yeah they are in jail too.
Jennaizenhart,
Sarcasm (sahr’kazm) n. bitter irony; taunting comment.
If that’s a little too much heavy lifting for you, Jenna, ask one of your friends who Jon Stewart is.
Tell you walk in there shoes who are you to judge. I can honestly say that 99% of those arrested at the bust. Would be there to help someone if needed and listen to your problems give you good solid advise and would not judge you or put you down for your mistake you`ve made. Even thou you see there names here or hear negative crap about them. Don`t judge them get to know them first you`d be shocked on what you`ll learn about each of them. Most so called tweakers are great people just with a set back. They will make it if others would mind their own business. They`re not hurting anyone except there selfs.
Guilty Bystander you are simply an idiot and there is no other way around it to say that you want a tee shirt with suck a saying on it that you were there yeah this is something to really advertise and be proud of I cant believe that freedom of speech should be extended to people like you I swear your a idiot
Why is it that you all feel I am one of those people who are never happy?I don’t have blinders on as to what goes on in this county. I am disgusted with Law enforcement. I know of a CI (who flippped because he was busted delivering) right now that is currently(and has been for the past 6 months) being allowed to use & deal drugs because he is ”protected by the Narcotics task team until he testifies in some cases(unless those people make plea deals) NO LAW ENFORCEMENT Agency can bust him, so he continues to run the streets selling Heroin, pills & pot to kids,,when I say kids, that’s what I mean Under 18. I can name at least 6 current law enforcement officers that I know for a fact that actively bust drug dealers & users who are addicts themselves. When they confiscate the drugs & money..they skim drugs & money off the top or “somehow Less than what they have recovered or none of it makes it to evidence. I say only 6 because I don’t have enough solid facts on some of the others. But there are more. I have no intentions of leaving Lewis County, many places have bad cops..I just don’t give them Kudos’ for “such a great job”. To answer your next thought… no I don’t do drugs, never have tried anything other than pot back when I was a teen. Didn’t like it. But I know people, good & bad. And I do try to help people that I know that have gone down the wrong road. Everyone can make mistakes some worse than others. Educate yourselves on what PROBABLE CAUSE is, LE uses this more frequently than actual search warrants. Here’s an example: Say one of you are outside of starbucks, & I pull up & you come & talk to me. Then pull out. Then another car pulls up & you go talk to them. Sounds fairly innocent. Someone can call LE and say You appear to be dealing drugs, the cops will come, search you (yes under probable cause they can), Harass you about money & drugs & if they find nothing they will go on their merry way. The same CAN be done with a suspected Drug house….but those LE addicts want that big score….the Drugs (some for themselves & some of the Money for themselves.) . Open your eyes to what really goes on around this county.
Oh yeah, it appears that LC is doing such a wonderful job, but in fact if these folks stick it out and follow through with a trial, they would probably be found not guilty due to lack of follow through evidence and no real investigation conducted from your most perfect Lewis County Law Enforcement. Again, challenge Law enforcements investigation, I guarantee they do not have any! Also, the investigation was “a month long” it says up above in this story. A Month Long!…….really, exactly how much can be a “Good Investigation” on ten people in a Months Time? Do they have a snitch for each one of them? One person from the Xmas bust took hers to trial, this was a 3 month investigation, and the Judge found her “not guilty” do to lack of investigation and lack of evidence on the part of your perfect LC LE. They can’t keep targeting and profiling people just because of their past. Their war on drugs has caused them to become blind to
“real” crimes around here, like the over flow of Heroin and the lack of caring whether or not kids are trying it. The fact that the real problem in Lewis County is the abuse of prescription drugs, alcohol, and heroin………………oh wait 2 of those 3 abuses is legal, by societies eyes. Well Society is Screwed Up!!!!!!!!! “WAKE THE *F* UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!
I have many feelings about the Big Bottom Bust but do have one thing to say at this time this is to respone to Amazed. I agree with most all he has said. We do have some good people in our LC police departments but many have given good reason to be questioned about their own personal life,also of who they are really protecting. Just because they have the title of law-enforcement does not make them honest and of good morels.
Any person who lives in east county (who does not have their heads stuck in a hole in the ground) know at least one if not all of these people busted today and about their life style. So this should go without saying every law-enforcement officer knows them and what they do so what is so hard to investagate or better yet get the goods on them.
Most of these people come from good honest families who helped build this valley and for what ever reasons have become involded in this kind of life. Although they are responsibile for their own actions we as a community need to learn more about addiction and the struggles these people and their families go through because we all know this is not just a one generation problem.
These aren’t big time money makers here guys who are out to make big bucks off our families and friends at any cost. These are our family and friends, maybe your child’s or grandchild’s,or brother’s,or sister’s,or their child’s, or even your mom’s or dad’s name weren’t on that list today, they could be there one day. And what are we going to have to answer to our self because all we did was sit back and judged. Do I have all the answers no if so this wouldn’t be happening in my backyard
or any where and it for sure wouldn’t be happening to people I know and care about.
These are people just like us they come from the same place in life we did. We were blessed to have been able to make different choices for what ever reason or reasons. Be it parents, or parent, a teacher, someone from church, a friends parent who loved you and taught you the things you needed to not go down that rode or maybe they helped you make the exit off that rode so you aren’t still living in that darkness and have light in your life again.
Anyway I could go on and on but will close saying I do not support any of what these people are doing or that I have all understanding of of why. One thing I do know and understand is the sins of the father fall unto the third and fourth generation so long as they repent not. So I pray this will get many of you to thinking about this ugly thing that is tearing our families a part and start making choices about what it is YOU can do to get rid of this ugly thing and save those we love. These guys are just supporting each other and their own addiction, also your place of business.
Word. And for the snitch hating Old Long, three words…. “Wait fot it.” There’s more ti come soon….
Bahls , I agree with you, Amazed is one of those people that never are happy , and law enforcement are always in the wrong. I live in this area, and what the hell is he talkin about? 6 months ago we had the xmas round up as well so I think they are doing pretty good. Amazed you can always leave Lewis Co. if you want .
Perhaps the police could have been better equipped; i.e. satellite reconaissance in order to find out where these dopers got their filthy lucre.
I don’t see any reason to rely on snitches when there’s enough technology being legally utilized to snoop on every single person in America.
This is just a stage-play people. The real players, like the one that was given a sweet-heart deal a few months back, will be conveniently missing from the final act.
The only thing the cops and their beloved snitches have done, is open up more opportunity for the cartels to get a tighter stranglehold on just about every single small podunk town in the u.s.
If my comments offend anyone then just remember this:
Americans love their country and they love their guns, but since america is THE biggest buyer of ALL illegal drugs in the world, they can’t seem to do so without being wasted on dope.
The obvious answer is to build more prisons so the “perfect people” who only sell the dope but don’t do it, can make more money!
Oh and thanks LCSO keep it up!!!
Amazed: I would bet that if the cops started kicking in doors without any kind of probable cause just because someone claimed they were selling drugs you wouldbe yelling at the top of your lungs that the police were violating peoples civil rights. That is why investigators take so long to gather evidence. If they didn’t the case would be dismissed immediately and the tweakers would walk. So yes it takes time but that is the price of justice in the US. And besides there are very few cases of people becoming addicts against there will! It was and is a decision each and every one of them made at some point to put those chemicals in their body. All we can do is educate, support, and when necessary punish under the letter of the law.
Thank God they brought the tank. Money well spent.
Fortunately things went smoothly. The S.E.A.L.s can stand down now. Better still keep the National Guard on alert though. By the looks of that bottom picture they seem a little under equipped.
Very Glad it happened, but busing these dopers / thieves is just an exercise in catch & release. Cops bust ’em and the courts slap their wrists and give them minimal time to serve with a token fine.
Most of the people on that arrest list know the booking process better than the cops that put them in ‘cuffs.
It just seems like cell doors don’t slam shut anymore, just spin around like a revolving door.
I for one really wish the Washington State Legislature would put sharper teeth in the drug laws so these people won’t be back by the end of the month.
And, yes the Mexican super labs crank out meth cheaper and faster than our local Bevis and Buttheads can do. It’s about the only manufacturing that I’m glad to see get outsourced!
I believe Jackie is referring to the people busted, are either users or local distributers. None are charged with manufacture. The higher ups are the ones who are cooking it and transporting it and doing the whole selling to local dealers.
When was the last time you heard of a local meth. kitchen busted?
It is virtually all being smuggled in from Mexico. What do you think the drug violence is about down there?
Sandra I am Hispanic and I only made that comment because everytime their is a story about drugs, many people start assuming it was a Hispanic. I was only being sarcastic in case you didn’t catch that. 😉
I dont like the comment from Jackie I think it was rude to asume that all big drug dealers are Hispanic. Their are many others in and arouund that are American. She needs to educate herself. I’m not Hispanic but have alot of respect for those I know and thoses that are bunched together because they are.
AMAZED:
Things take longer than snapping a finger when investigating any crime, especially drug dealers and cooks. This delay is caused by the laws of this state and the entire west coast for that matter. In States like Texas, they can pretty much walk into a house and seize drugs along with making arrests.
I want to buy a t-shirt with the words, “I was there for the Big Bottom Bust” (the graphics possibilities are endless). Doesn’t matter if anyone knows what it’s about, like “Are You Nakie?”
Sounds to me like “someone” neglected to “pay the lewis county piper”. Law enforcement most likely “won’t find any drugs”. As far as 10 more tweakers off the streets, most likely IF it was that big of an operation, they’ll be bailed/bonded out by tonight if they even see the inside of a cell. How long did they investigate this operation? Some people praise law enforcement for their Great job, but in the meantime (sometimes well over a year of investigating) they are allowing more & more people buy & get addicted to these drugs. This goes on all the time. Several years ago I complained constantly to LE about a meth Lab house with daily dealings…”it’s under investigation” is all they could say. Well, that investigation was close to a year. I call BS on that. If they know what’s going on, it doesn’t take that much too bust them & put a stop to the dealings. Instead LE lets more people get hooked on the drugs. It’s pathetic & sickening to me. I have very little respect for Lewis County LE. With the exception of a (very)few good officers, it’s all a money & drug game to them. Yes, they do get and use drugs & money from these dealers. That itself is Nothing new here! The LC citizens should demand routine & random drug testing for ALL Law Enforcement. Most people would be in awe at the abuse of their power.
Get the sellers, get the buyers get em all!! Tired of seeing the same names with the same crimes….teach them a lesson put them away for many years! Good job to all the officers!!
Well that’s odd……
I only see “American names” no “Hispanic names” listed. I thought all along that it was only the Hispanics that brought and handled the drugs. But maybe they are the peak of the mountain and these were just the messengers. I don’t know maybe I’m wrong.
Thank you to all law enforcement that was involved. Take all the scum down. There is other ways to make money besides selling drugs. Take all there cars, houses, to pay for the cost. If landlords knew about it take there houses to. Cant wait to see where the next one is…I totally support any drug bust.
This makes my day! That’s ten more tweakers off the streets. I don’t particularly care for cops, but I hate tweakers a thousand times more.
To all the law enforcement involved in accomplishing this – Keep up the good work!!!!!!
