On Monday, detectives with the Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team were assisted by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office in bringing to conclusion a month-long investigation into suspected drug trafficking.

DINT Commander Lieutenant Rick McArthur said at approximately 8:30 p.m. a deputy initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle on Interstate 5 at milepost 161 near Curtin, at the request of DINT detectives. McArthur said two people were detained: Jeffery Bell and Annie Randles, both age 45 and from Roseburg.

During a search of the vehicle, detectives found approximately 2 pounds of suspected methamphetamine. McArthur said detectives followed up with a search at a residence in the 900 block of Shoestring Road in Riddle, where they found more evidence of drug trafficking.

Bell was charged with unlawful possession, manufacture and delivery of methamphetamine. He was detained without bail. Randles was cited and released on the charges of unlawful possession and deliver of meth.
