Two Arrested In CODE Bust

BEND, OR -- Two Bend transients face criminal charges, following an investigation by the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement (CODE) team. Detectives say 54-year-old Timothy Henkel was trafficking fentanyl.

During a surveillance operation Tuesday afternoon, authorities say Henkel sold drugs to two people in a car parked at the Bend Home Depot. Detectives approached the group and the vehicle took off. A passenger, later identified as Henry Duran ran from the scene and has not been located. 

Officers arrested Henkel and his passenger, 30-year-old Wyatt Froome. They searched Henkel's car and say they found commercial quantities of fentanyl pills and meth, as well as $750 in Lego sets allegedly stolen from the nearby Target store and intended for online sale.

Henkel is charged with having a commercial quantity of fentanyl pills and methamphetamine, as well as Theft II. Froome is accused of theft.

CODE Detectives are asking for the public's help in locating Duran.
