Grant County Sheriff's Office Press Release:
GRANT COUNTY, Wash. - A significant intrastate heroin trafficking
ring was busted up recently when Grant County law enforcement officers teamed up
with western Washington police investigators.
The joint Moses Lake
Police and INET investigation spanned several months and uncovered a heroin
narcotics trafficking ring which was moving drugs between Moses Lake and the
Seattle area. After a search warrant was executed last week in the Moses Lake
area, several people were taken into custody and heroin seized.
INET
detectives determined the heroin was coming out of the Seattle area. INET
detectives then traveled to Bellevue, Wash. where they teamed up with the
Eastside Narcotics Task Force (ENTF). Undercover drug buys were conducted in the
Seattle area resulting in five arrests, among them Matthew R. Dizzard, 25, and
Caspar J.S. Wandler, 22, both from Seattle. Investigators seized over four
ounces of heroin, a handgun, and almost $7,000 in cash.
The
investigation continues.
Supervised by the Grant County Sheriff's
Office, INET is comprised of detectives from the Sheriff's Office, Washington
State Patrol, Quincy Police Department and Moses Lake Police Department.
