LA PINE, OR -- A La Pine couple faces multiple drug-related charges, following a traffic stop and search of their home. Earlier this week, the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement team concluded a long-term investigation, pulling over a vehicle driven by 37-year-old Armando Nieves-Cintora; 30-year-old Jessica Lee was the passenger.

After a K-9 alerted to the presence of drugs in their car, detectives say they found a baggie of fentanyl pills in a hidden compartment and additional packaging material in the man’s wallet.

They later searched the couple's home on River Birch and seized more pills and packaging material, cash, a rifle, sawed-ff shotgun and other evidence.

Nieves-Cintora and Lee are charged with Unlawful Possession and Unlawful Delivery/Manufacturing of a controlled substance, and possession of a short-barreled rifle.
