The Central Oregon Drug Enforcement team recently conducted a short-term investigation that determined 48-year-old Bend resident Sunshine Wright was transporting illegal narcotics from the Portland area into Central Oregon.  

At approximately 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 19, a Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputy conducted a traffic stop on Wright’s vehicle because of traffic violations and the reasonable suspicion that drugs were being transported in the vehicle.  

At the start of the traffic stop, officers deployed drug detection K9 Keira, and the K9 alerted to the odor of illegal narcotics in the vehicle. CODE detectives were granted a search warrant for the vehicle, and during the subsequent search of the vehicle detectives located approximately 80 grams of fentanyl, 80 grams of methamphetamine, and more than 10 grams of cocaine inside the vehicle. Additional items in the vehicle were consistent with the distribution of illegal narcotics.  

Wright was taken into custody on suspicion of the above offenses and lodged at the Jefferson County Jail. This is an ongoing investigation, and additional charges may be filed. 

CODE was assisted by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, and the Redmond Police Department. 

Criminal complaints contain only charges; defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
