CHEHALIS – Police arrested a Chehalis couple and turned three children over to CPS after a raid last night at a Chehalis house where detectives believe as many as eight drug sales per night were being conducted.
Some 18 officers from the Chehalis Police Department and the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant at 9:30 p.m. at the home on the 1900 block of South Market Boulevard, according to Chehalis Police Chief Glenn Schaffer.
The arrests followed a three-week investigation into suspected heroin sales from the home, according to Schaffer.
Small amounts of heroin and methamphetamine were found, as well as drug paraphernalia and a firearm, according to police.
Arrested were Kristi Henderson, 28, and Zachary Gallagher, 25.
Henderson was booked into the Lewis County Jail for three counts of possession and delivery of narcotics. Gallagher was booked for the same, as well as first-degree possession of a firearm, according to police.
The children who were in the home at the time, ages 11, 6 and 4, were turned over to Child Protective Services who will work to work to determine the children’s health and future placement, according to a news release.
