Three people were arrested on drug-related charges after a search warrant was served at a property in Seaside.
On Saturday, Aug. 22, the Clatsop County Interagency Narcotic Team and detectives with the Seaside Police Department served a search warrant for drugs and stolen property at 1605 N. Wahanna Road.
According to a news release from the Clatsop County Sheriff’s Office, the warrant was obtained after deputies and Seaside officers responded to several calls for service about squatting and drug-related activity at the residence, as well as numerous complaints from neighbors. During the course of those responses, individuals were arrested for drug-related offenses and outstanding warrants.
During the search Saturday, officers arrested Logan Douglas Holt, 27, for two outstanding arrest warrants and delivery and possession of methamphetamine. Officers located and seized methamphetamine, heroin, digital scales, packaging material, records of drug sales and several other controlled substances during the search, the news release states. Detectives also found and recovered stolen items, hundreds of used hypodermic needles and drug paraphernalia.
“Due to the dangerous living conditions in the residence, detectives contacted the Fire Marshal of Seaside and the Clatsop County electrical inspector, who determined the residence was dangerous and uninhabitable,” the release states.
The evidence gave detectives probable cause to arrest two other suspects Monday, Aug. 24. Vicky Renea Moyer, 43, was arrested for delivery and possession of heroin, possession of prescription amphetamine tablets and possession of ecstasy tablets. William Berkley Waddell, 46, was arrested and charged with delivery and possession of heroin and possession of methamphetamine.
Following the arrest, detectives obtained and served another search warrant on Moyer’s vehicle. They seized methamphetamine, heroin, a digital scale, several hundred dollars in cash and more records of drug sales.
The case was forwarded to the Clatsop County District Attorney’s Office for review.
