A yearlong investigation culminated in the seizure of multiple guns, drugs, and stolen vehicles. Additionally, officers arrested a number of people including a mother and son.
Early this year, the East Precinct Neighborhood Response Team (NRT) received numerous complaints about drugs being sold out of a home in the 14100 block of Northeast Halsey Street. On June 5, 2023, East NRT, with the help of several of PPB’s specialized teams, executed a search warrant at the home in question. Officers seized 19 firearms, large quantities of ammunition, body armor, methamphetamine, fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, a stolen vehicle, and more than $10,000 in cash. The following people were arrested:
Tracie Harbison, 53, of Portland
Michael Llanos, 43, of Portland
Kristi Collum, 46, of Portland
Zachary Smith, 33, of Gresham
Officers continued to investigate and on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, with the help of federal partners, officers executed search warrants at a home in the 1800 block of Northeast 66th Avenue, nearby storage units, and a tiny home in the area of Southeast 30th Avenue and Southeast Steele Street. Law enforcement personnel seized 12 firearms, methamphetamine, one bag of unknown white pills, one bag of an unknown white powder, and two stolen vehicles. The following people were arrested:

The Portland Police Bureau would like to thank its partners at the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, namely the MCSO Dangerous Drug Team, for teaming up on this yearlong investigation that resulted in the seizure of more than 30 firearms, a significant amount of drugs, the recovery of stolen vehicles, and the arrests of multiple people.
