Six people were arrested in a Thursday morning drug sting at a Lake Oswego home, as authorities cracked down on illegal narcotics and manufacturing operations.
According to police, tactical units and a regional narcotics team executed a search warrant on Southwest 65th Avenue in the Rivergrove neighborhood.
During the search, officers uncovered fentanyl, other drugs, firearms, body armor, and stolen property.
The raid also revealed a substantial marijuana operation, complete with equipment for producing Butane Hash Oil—an ultra-potent THC concentrate.
The discovery highlighted growing concerns about the misuse of marijuana processing techniques, especially given the dangers posed by Butane Hash Oil manufacturing.
The home’s owner, 49-year-old George F. Brice IV, was arrested alongside five others.
Charges included possession and distribution of fentanyl, unlawful marijuana manufacturing, and firearm possession.
Brice’s arrest, alongside those of his co-conspirators, underscores the ongoing battle against drug-related crime in residential areas.
Those arrested faced a variety of charges:
- George F. Brice IV (49): Felon in possession of a firearm, possession and distribution of fentanyl, unlawful marijuana manufacturing.
- Nicholas Cody Fascell (36): Felony possession of marijuana, controlled substance manufacturing.
- Brianna Jane Rohr (34): Controlled substance possession and delivery, probation violation.
- Jacob Levi Eddings (41): Probation violation, frequenting a drug-related location.
- Breah Marlena Canales (44): Frequenting a drug-related location.
- Skylar Ray Auel (37): Probation violation, frequenting a drug-related location.
This bust not only underscores the dangers of illicit drug production in quiet neighborhoods but also the efforts of local authorities to curb the growing fentanyl crisis.
As the investigation continues, the arrests serve as a reminder that illegal activities often lurk just beneath the surface of seemingly peaceful communities.
