Investigation leads to marijuana seizure in Yamhill County

On Tuesday, September 3, 2024, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office Tactical Negotiations Team (TNT) served a search warrant near the 32000 block of SW Tongue Lane on a large property believed to be an illegal marijuana processing location.  

 A community member notified the Sheriff’s Office that the pungent odors of marijuana were coming from the location. Initial information was circulated to community members that the area was a storage facility for hemp, which turned out not to be true.  

The Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at this same location in 2022 under similar circumstances. The property changed ownership after the 2022 incident.  

While serving the search warrant, investigators with the Washington County Westside Interagency Narcotics Team (WIN) located approximately 6,600 pounds of marijuana with an estimated street value near $6,000,000. The marijuana was seized for destruction.
