(HILLSBORO, Ore.) - Washington County's Tactical Negotiations Team served two separate search warrants this morning at 4:00 a.m. Sgt. Bob Ray with the Washington County Sheriff's Office, says one warrant was served at 3660 NW 313th Avenue in Hillsboro, and another warrant was served at a second residence located at 10037 NW Iron Ridge Place in North Plains.

"This was part of an ongoing investigation with the Westside Interagency Narcotics Team (WIN) into a group distributing Heroin in and around the Washington County area," Ray said.

"During the execution of the search warrant at the North Plains residence, 19 year old Jonathan Hess brandished an AK-47 assault rifle from a second floor window as the tactical team was about to make entry into the house. No shots were fired and the team was able to take both subjects into custody without injury."

He says that during the search of the residence, investigators seized an AK-47 assault rifle, two rifles, two handguns, about an ounce of Heroin worth about $1,300 and approx. $5,000 cash.

"At the Hillsboro residence additional Heroin was seized. Two firearms were recovered out of a vehicle located at a third residence in Hillsboro."

19? He doesn't look 19 :|

Editor: I realized after the story had been up for a few minutes that the ages were switched, but they are in order now.  Yes, according to the police he's 19.

well, its good to see that mother and son are on the same page.....yikes! And is this really a "mid-level" bust?

I know I missed something,but "overkill" seems the keyword on this police action.,isn't Afghanistan the major exporter and grower of the dreaded opium poppy? The "war on drugs" just takes another kick to the shinbone and the mid level heroin drug trafficking ring",(a bit redundant don't you think?) is in the white house and has been since the "war" began, before Nixon. Thank you very much..,good day!
