On Wednesday, July 18, 2018, at 3:21 p.m., members of the Portland Police Bureau's Central Precinct Neighborhood Response Team (NRT) served a search warrant at a residence at the Westwind Hotel Apartments, located at 333 Northwest 6th Avenue.
This investigation began earlier in the day on Tuesday, after an anonymous tip was submitted to Crime Stoppers of Oregon. The anonymous tip led Central Precinct NRT officers to investigate the occupant of an apartment in the Westwind Hotel Apartments who was reportedly selling illegal drugs.
Based on information gathered during the investigation, officers submitted a warrant for approval and received approval from a Multnomah County judge.
As officers searched the apartment, they located over a half ounce of heroin which is equivalent to approximately 121 dosage units, $1,100.00 in cash, drug packaging materials, and two firearms. One of the seized firearms was previously reported as a stolen firearm. (Photographs of the firearms have been provided with this release.)
The suspect, 27-year-old Peter K. Nam, was lodged at the Multnomah County Jail on charges of Manufacture of Heroin within 1000 feet of a School (two counts), Delivery of Heroin within 1000 feet of a School (two counts), Possession of Heroin (two counts), Theft in the First Degree by Receiving (one count), and warrants for Possession of a Controlled Substance Cocaine and a Douglas County warrant for Failure to Perform the Duties of a Driver.
Anyone with information about Nam is asked to contact the Portland Police Bureau non-emergency line at 503-823-3333.
Crime Stoppers of Oregon offers cash rewards of up to $2,500 for information, reported to Crime Stoppers, that leads to an arrest in any unsolved homicide or other felony crime, and tipsters can remain anonymous.
