News Release

Local Law Enforcement Arrest Two Redmond Residents And Seize Almost Half A Pound Of Fentanyl (Photo) - 12/15/23

Redmond, Oregon -Over the last couple of months, the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement (CODE) team in collaboration with the Redmond Police Department (RPD) conducted a short-term investigation into the possession and distribution of fentanyl involving 55-year-old Redmond resident Thomas Andrews and 49-year-old Redmond resident Melanie Doherty. 
 

On Thursday, December 14, 2023, at approximately 3:00 a.m., Thomas Andrews and Melanie Doherty were contacted by the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office during a traffic stop in Terrebonne, Oregon.  During the traffic stop, Bend Police Department (BPD) drug detection K9 Bonnie alerted to the odor of illegal substances in the vehicle.  Approximately half a pound of Fentanyl, in powder and pill form, was seized. 

 

Thomas Andrews was arrested for Felony Unlawful Possession of a Schedule II Controlled Substance and Attempted Delivery of a Schedule II Controlled Substance.  He was lodged at the Deschutes County Jail. 



Melanie Doherty was arrested for Misdemeanor Unlawful Possession of a Schedule II Controlled Substance and Conspiracy to Commit Delivery of a Schedule II Controlled Substance.  She was later lodged at the Deschutes County Jail.  

 

CODE and RPD would like to thank the Oregon State Police (OSP), Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO), and the Bend Polie Department (BPD) for their assistance with this investigation.  RPD appreciates our partner agencies assisting us with making Redmond the Safest Community in Oregon by keeping illegal and dangerous drugs, such as fentanyl, out of our community.  If you or someone you know is struggling with drug addiction, resources are available in our community; one such resource is Narcotics Anonymous, 541-416-2146 or https://www.na.org/meetingsearch/.
