Suspect Arrested and Narcotics Seized During Sunday Morning Drugs and Vice Investigation (Photo) - 07/15/18

On Sunday, July 15, 2018, at 7:24 a.m., officers assigned to the Portland Police Bureau's Drug and Vice Division (DVD) and Central Precinct Street Crimes Unit conducted a narcotics investigation in the area of the 900 block of Southeast Powell Boulevard.

In the course of the investigation, officers observed an associated suspect vehicle parked in the parking lot of the Jack in the Box restaurant, located at 921 Southeast Powell Boulevard. When officers pulled into the parking lot, the suspect tried to flee the scene in the vehicle he drove. The suspect crashed his car into an occupied Drugs and Vice Division canine unit vehicle. The suspect was arrested without further incident. There were no injuries to the suspect, officers or police canine as a result of the crash.

Drugs and Vice Division investigators located and seized as evidence 458 grams of the psychoactive drug, Molly/MDMA (3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine) inside the suspect's vehicle. This led to a subsequent search of the suspect's residence in the 19000 block of Howell Street in Gladstone. During the search of the suspect's residence, Drugs and Vice Division investigators located and seized an additional 115 grams of MDMA. The estimated wholesale value of the seized MDMA is $45,000. Illegal narcotics seized in this investigation amount to approximately 2.865 street dosage units.

The suspect has been identified as 25-year-old Toren Paul Flom. Flom was booked into the Multnomah County Jail on charges of Delivery of MDMA, Possession of MDMA, Attempt Elude By Vehicle, and Reckless Driving.

DVD works closely with other local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to investigate and eliminate illegal drug trafficking in the Portland area and provides training and education on drug trends and illegal drug activity to other divisions within the Police Bureau as well as the community.
