This morning, at about 5:30 a.m., the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant at 2715 NE Elaine Drive in the City of McMinnville. The warrant was obtained by YCSO Sergeant Travis High and was the result of an investigation into stolen property and unlawful possession of firearms. Due to safety concerns and the involved firearms, the Oregon State Police SWAT unit assisted in the service of the warrant.
A resident of the address, Brandon Jacob Erickson, 37, was found hiding in the basement of the residence and taken into custody on outstanding warrants. He was lodged at the Yamhill County Correctional Facility without bail.
A search of the property yielded stolen property,methamphetamine, and 6 firearms. One of the firearms seized appeared to be a loaded homemade shotgun, while another appeared to be a modified, short barrel shotgun.

“Sgt. High and his team did an outstanding job in this investigation.” said Sheriff Tim Svenson. “He ensured all variables were considered to make this operation as safe as possible. This is a best-case scenario with a subject in custody, cases being cleared, and everyone safe.”
