The Dalles Man Face Charges After Drug Seizure

A 23-year-old man faces numerous charges after law enforcement served a warrant on a residence on East 9th in The Dalles.  According to a statement from the Wasco County Sheriff’s and District Atorrney’s offices, Eli Sarabia of The Dalles was taken into custody and lodged at NORCOR for unlawful delivery of a substantial quantity of cocaine, possession of cocaine, oxycodone and hydrocodone, first degree theft, tampering with drug records, and unlawful possession of a firearm.  The two agencies say the search of the residence resulted in the seizure of 143 grams of suspected cocaine and pharmaceutical pills, a handgun, a tactical rifle reported stolen from central Oregon, and over $100,000 of suspected drug proceeds.  Wasco County Sheriff Lane Magill noted this is the first case since the restarting of the Mid-Columbia Narcotics Task Force, also known as the MINT Team, a group of detectives is dedicated to fighting drugs and associated criminal behavior in the Mid-Columbia region.  The MINT Team has been inactive for a number of years, but has been reactivated in a limited capacity as police administrators work to build capacity, training, equipment and expertise.
