News Release

New Clatsop County Street Crimes Unit Makes Immediate Impact With Two Arrests In Two Days (Photo) - 05/06/26

On 05/05/2026, at around 1300 hours, members of the newly formed Clatsop County Street Crimes Unit observed two suspicious subjects at the end of 4th Lane, in rural Astoria.  Uniformed deputies were dispatched to the area and an investigation was conducted.  Following the investigation, 36-year-old Casey L. Brown was taken into custody and charged with Possession of Weapons by Certain Felons and Unlawful Possession of Fentanyl.  Brown was transported to the Clatsop County Jail.

 

On 05/06/2025, at around 1140 hours, members of the Clatsop County Street Crimes Unit located 46-year-old Jason W. Ficken, in Seaside.  Ficken is wanted for an Oregon Parole Board warrant and numerous crimes, including felony domestic violence charges, in Pacific County, WA.

 

After a short foot pursuit, uniformed deputies of the Sheriff’s Office, Seaside Police, Gearhart Police, and Cannon Beach Police converged on the area.  Clatsop County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Drako was deployed, along a drone from Cannon Beach Police, in a effort to locate Ficken.  Ficken was eventually located not far from where he entered the wood line and was taken into custody.  Ficken was transported and lodged at the Clatsop County Jail.
