MADRAS, OR -- The Central Oregon Drug Enforcement (CODE) team arrested a local drug and alcohol counselor suspected of trafficking heroin throughout the region. After a nearly two-month investigation, detectives took 27-year-old Ryan Smith into custody during a high risk traffic stop in Madras, earlier this week.
During a search of his vehicle, they found a commercial amount of heroin, user amounts of meth and evidence of sales and manufacturing of the drugs.
Investigators believe the Prineville man frequently traveled to Portland to obtain heroin and return to Central Oregon to sell the product.
