TERREBONNE, OR -- A Bend woman is accused of trafficking drugs in Central Oregon. The Central Oregon Drug Enforcement team arrested 38-year-old Nancy Long during a traffic stop on Friday.

Long was identified by drug agents as a fentanyl trafficker, prompting a short investigation and surveillance operation. Detectives believe she imported signficant quantities of fentanyl from the Portland area for distribution in the High Desert.

Long was a passenger in a vehicle pulled over by CODE detectives and Sheriff's deputies on HIghway 97, just north of Terrebonne. Narcotics L9 "Bonnie" alerted to the presence of drugs in the vehicle, and a search turned up a "substantial quantity" of fentanyl powder. 

The driver was released without charges. Long is charged with Unlawful Possession and Attempted Distribution of fentanyl. She's also accused of a probation violation and was lodged at the Deschutes County Jail. She's due in court March 22nd.
