In Oregon - Detectives raided two drug houses, seizing Meth and arresting three people.  At one house, police found more than 3-ounces of Meth and paraphernalia associated with Meth use.  The other home contained small user amounts of Meth, a rifle and handgun, and drug paraphernalia. 

In Montana - A 48-year old man convicted of trafficking Meth will spend more than five years in federal prison.  He was sentenced to five years and 10 months in prison, to be served consecutively to a 50-month federal sentence ordered for illegal re-entry into the United States.  He will be deported after completing his sentences.  He admitted he sold 2-ounces of Meth to an undercover officer for $3,000.

In Washington – A city police chief says the recent arrest of his brother on federal drug trafficking charges came as a surprise, but he is not surprised that the narcotics task force made the arrest.  He says, "It doesn't matter who the person is or who the person is related to…They can't say we're corrupt, can they?"   The brother, 43-years-old, and two other men were swept up in a recent raid that netted eight pounds of Meth.  They were arrested after a raid at the 43-year-old’s auto detailing business. 

In West Virginia - A high school teacher's aide was one of three people arrested for conspiracy to operate a Meth lab.  State troopers found a Meth lab at the 28-year-old woman’s home.
