Scene 4

A search warrant was served at a Tigard home early yesterday morning, which led to the arrest of one person and the recovery of drugs and ammunition.

This investigation began more than a year ago, when the Tigard Police Department began getting numerous complaints from people living near SW Oak Street and SW 67^th Avenue regarding suspicious activity at a home in the neighborhood. Neighbors reported a large variety of people coming and going at all hours of the night, suspected drug activity and complaints regarding animals and trash on the property.

Patrol officers found increased activity at the property in recent weeks and gathered evidence to apply for a warrant to search the home. A judge granted the warrant, which was executed early yesterday morning (June 13, 2024) by the Washington County Tactical Negotiations Team (TNT) in partnership with Tigard Police officers and detectives. 

As the team arrived, three people were getting into a car in the driveway. As TNT worked to block in the car, one person ran back inside the home. The driver then backed into an armored truck, pulled forward and drove through the yard and hit a second TNT vehicle to get away. A patrol officer tried to stop the car as it sped through the neighborhood, but the driver did not stop. Investigators are working to identify that person at this time. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. 

The primary suspect associated with the home, Tevis Wilson, age 29, was found at the property and was safely arrested. He is being taken to the Washington County Jail on charges of possession of a controlled substance - methamphetamine, unlawful possession of ammunition by a person prohibited (due to a prior conviction for domestic violence) and hindering prosecution.

We’d like to thank TNT for their assistance, and we appreciate the patience from neighbors in the area while officers worked behind the scenes on this investigation.
