The Clatsop County Drug Task Force, with the assistance of the Seaside
Police Department and Astoria Police Department executed multiple search
warrants in Astoria and Seaside Friday afternoon, resulting in the arrest of
Leland James Wilson, 34, of Astoria.
Due to citizen complaints, Drug Task Force Detectives began an
investigation of Wilson and confirmed Wilson to be responsible for distributing
considerable quantities of Marijuana within the community. Detectives contacted
and executed a search warrant on Wilson, in Seaside pursuant to a traffic stop.
A 17 year old female Astoria High School student, Wilson's daughter, was also
contacted in the vehicle during school hours. Marijuana packaged for sale and
cash were seized. It was learned the juvenile daughter was allegedly
distributing marijuana within the school under the direction of Wilson, who
collected the cash in return.
During the execution of the search warrant on Wilson's person and vehicle,
detectives discovered photos of Wilson holding what appeared to be pounds of
Marijuana. Detectives seized close to four ounces of marijuana (1/4pound)
hashish, digital scales, packaging materials, drug records and two hundred and
thirty dollars in cash. Drug records seized confirmed the sale of marijuana to
minors.
Detectives then served and executed a search warrant at Wilson's residence,
16 Nimitz #3 in Astoria. At the residence, detectives seized additional
marijuana and packaging material.
Wilson was arrested and charged with Possession of Marijuana, Delivery of
Marijuana and Delivery of Marijuana within a thousand feet of a school. Wilson
was lodged at the Clatsop County Jail.
The Juvenile associated with the case was referred to the Juvenile
department on the charges of possession and delivery of a controlled substance.
DHS was notified.
