Two people were arrested last Thursday by the Lincoln Interagency Narcotics
Team (LINT), with the assistance of Newport Police Department and Oregon State
Police, during the execution of a narcotics-related search warrant at a
Newport-area motel.
LINT began the investigation after learning the suspects were staying at
the Inn at Yaquina Bay in Newport and selling methamphetamine from the motel. On
June 13, 2013, LINT served a search warrant on multiple rooms at the business
and a vehicle associated with the suspects. Officers located methamphetamine,
packaging materials, digital scales and other evidence of drug use and
sales.
The following two suspects were arrested at the scene:
JASON PARKER OWENS, age 36
* Unlawful Manufacturing of a Controlled Substance - Methamphetamine
* Unlawful Delivery of a Controlled Substance - Methamphetamine
* Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance - Methamphetamine
APRIL MARIE SHALBERG, age 37
* Unlawful Delivery of a Controlled Substance - Methamphetamine
* Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance - Methamphetamine
* Warrants out of Clackamas County charging Rape in the Third Degree, Sex
Abuse in the Second Degree (4 counts) and Unlawful Possession of a Controlled
Substance - Methamphetamine
The owners of the business are working with LINT into possible thefts from
the business that may lead to additional charges and/or arrests.
LINT is made up of members of the Oregon State Police, Lincoln County
Sheriff's Office, Newport Police Department, Lincoln City Police Department, and
Lincoln County District Attorney's Office. Anyone with additional information
about this case or other drug related information is encouraged to contact LINT
at (541) 265-8101. Photos courtesy Lincoln County Sheriff's Office.
