From the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office
On Friday, January 6, 2012, an extensive narcotics investigation by Sheriff’s Office detectives culminated in the arrest of an 18 year old male Friday Harbor High School student. Charges are pending on multiple counts of Violation of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act involving the sale and delivery of heroin and cocaine.
This case began after the Sheriff’s Office received a number of tips from concerned citizens in the community about drug use and drug dealing involving the individual. Those tips provided the information creating the foundation on which this case was built.
Many people throughout the community have expressed grave concern about the availability of drugs- especially hard drugs to the youth on San Juan Island. This case both validates those concerns, and is a clear illustration of the commitment of the Sheriff’s Office to pursue and prosecute those who traffic in narcotics in our communities.
