REDMOND, OR -- Gary Hewit, Executive Director for the local nonprofit St. Vincent De Paul, was arrested this week for possession and delivery of methamphetamine. According to the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office, Hewitt's arrest by the Street Crimes Unit concludes a short term investigation into the distribution of commercial quantities of meth in Redmond.

Detectives believe Hewitt sold meth from his home, which is within a thousand feet of two Redmond schools. They executed a search warrant at his house and say they located a large amount of meth, scales, packaging materials and cash. 

He was taken into custody Thursday.
