BEND, OR -- A Bend man faces numerous charges following an investigation by the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement team. Detectives believe 41-year-old Jose Miguel Gomez trafficked fentanyl and meth into the area, selling it in the Hunnell Road homeless camp while living in a house on Liberty Lane, off Boyd Acres.

After a multi-day surveillance operation, Detectives executed a search warrant. They contacted Gomez during a traffic stop at about 11 a.m. Thursday, while he was a passenger in an unrelated car. When Bend Police tried to detain Gomez, they say he initially resisted but was quickly taken into custody without injury.

During the search, detectives say they found a "commercial quantity" of fake pills made of fentanyl and a separate package of methamphetamine, along with cash. 

Gomez is charged with Resisting Arrest, Meth Possession and Attempted Delivery, and Possession and Attempted Delivery of Schedule II Drugs. Later, he was charged by BPD for an unrelated assault investigation.
