An Oregon man already being held in the Baker County Jail on an unrelated case has now been indicted on a separate set of felony drug and weapons charges, according to court records.
A Baker County grand jury returned the indictment on July 30, accusing the 41-year-old defendant of unlawful delivery of methamphetamine, unlawful possession of methamphetamine, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Prosecutors also filed two misdemeanor counts alleging he was a felon in possession of restricted weapons.
According to the indictment, the defendant possessed at least 10 grams of methamphetamine. Prosecutors further alleged the case qualified as a commercial drug offense because he reportedly had more than $300 in cash, materials used to package drugs for sale, a firearm, and a restricted knife when he was arrested.
