The Lincoln County Interagency Narcotics Team (LINT), with the assistance of Oregon State Police and Lincoln County Sheriff's Office, arrested a 56-year old Waldport man Friday after serving a search warrant at his residence and seizing a small amount of methamphetamine, about one pound of marijuana, several firearms and other evidence.


On September 9, 2011 at approximately 6:05 a.m., LINT detectives, Oregon State Police and Lincoln County Sheriff's Office served a search warrant at 340 SW Pacific View Street in Waldport. Officers contacted JAMES EARL RUDDIMAN JR, age 56, and two other adults at the residence.
