Detectives with the Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team have arrested a Sutherlin woman and charged her with dealing methamphetamine and heroin adjacent to West Intermediate School.
Lieutenant Rick McArthur said DINT has been conducting an ongoing investigation into suspected drug related activities at a residence in the Soft Winds Mobile Home Park in the 400 block of North Comstock Road. He said based on that investigation, detectives recently developed probable cause for the arrest of 31-year old Georgina Watson for suspected drug crimes.
On Thursday, DINT, with assistance from the Sutherlin Police Department, executed a search warrant at the residence. McArthur said a substantial quantity of meth was located along with a small amount of heroin and numerous other drug related items.
Watson was charged with two counts each of unlawful delivery and possession of meth and for one count of unlawful possession of heroin. McArthur said the residence is less than 500 feet from West Intermediate, which added an additional charge for drug sales that occur within 1,000 feet of a school.

The DINT release said this is not the first time DINT detectives have searched this residence. In August of 2019, DINT arrested 51-year old Eric Nelson and Watson at the same residence. At that time, a search of the pair and of the home, revealed approximately 1.3 pounds of meth and 3.5 ounces of heroin. Both Nelson and Watson were charged with several drug crimes. Nelson was convicted of multiple felonies and on October 15th, received a 111-month prison sentence. Watson’s case on those charges is still pending.
On the new charges, Watson was initially detained on $1.4 million bail.
