Second Large Drug Seizure In A Week In Hood River

For the second time in a week, a traffic stop in Hood River led to the seizure of a large amount of drugs.  According to the Hood River Police Department, an officer on Friday stopped a vehicle with an expired registration, and observed a passenger trying to hide something.  A search of that location yielded over a pound of methamphetamine.  A digital scale was also seized.  The HRPD says both the driver and the passenger were taken into custody.  Five days earlier, a Hood River traffic stop led to seizure of about half-a-pound of methamphetamine, ten grams of heroin, and fentanyl.
