Joint MCSO, FBI Investigation Leads To Approximately 14 Pounds Of Drugs, 2 Firearms - 11/14/25

MULTNOMAH COUNTY, Ore. (MCSO) – Law enforcement in Multnomah, Clackamas and Clark County executed three simultaneous search warrants as part of a collaborative effort between the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which resulted in the seizure of approximately 14 pounds of various drugs and two firearms.

This case is being investigated by the MCSO Dangerous Drug Team (DDT) and FBI.

The three court-authorized search warrants are part of an ongoing investigation into alleged criminal activity involving multiple individuals.

The searches occurred in Portland, Milwaukie, and Vancouver, Washington.

The FBI, Port of Portland Police Department, United State Internal Revenue Service (IRS), United States Marshal Service (USMS), and United States Postal Inspector Service assisted MCSO with the investigation and/or the execution of the warrants.

As a result of the search warrants, investigators seized approximately:

  • 3.5 pounds of methamphetamine
  • 7 pounds of cocaine
  • Approximately 6,500 Xanax bars
  • Hundreds of lysergic acid diethylamide (commonly known as LSD) tablets
  • More than 2.5 pounds of mushrooms
  • Nearly 122 grams of powdered and 70 milliliters of liquid ketamine
  • Nearly a pound of MDMA (commonly known as ecstasy)
  • One handgun
  • One shotgun
  • Thousands of dollars in cash

Investigators have taken two people into custody.

Criminal charges are expected to be filed federally. At this time, no information about those arrested – nor the location of the warrants – can be released as the investigation continues.

The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) Dangerous Drug Team (DDT) is a multi-jurisdictional narcotics task force that identifies, disrupts, and dismantles local, multi-state, and international drug trafficking organizations using an intelligence-driven, multi-agency prosecutor-supported approach. MCSO DDT is supported by the Oregon-Idaho High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) and is composed of members from the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, Gresham Police Department, FBI, U.S. Marshals Service and is supported by analysts from the Oregon National Guard. 

The Oregon-Idaho HIDTA program is an Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) sponsored counterdrug grant program that coordinates with and provides funding resources to multi-agency drug enforcement initiatives, including the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office Dangerous Drug Team.

No additional information about this case is available for release.

MCSO Investigating Deadly Bicycle Crash In Unincorporated Multnomah County - 11/12/25

MULTNOMAH COUNTY, Ore. (MCSO) – The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) is investigating a crash that killed a 68-year-old bicyclist.

This investigation began at approximately 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, when emergency dispatchers with the Bureau of Emergency Communications (BOEC) received information about a person down near 9920 South Riverside Drive.

Portland Fire & Rescue, American Medical Response (AMR), and Portland Police Bureau (PPB) all responded.

When first responders arrived, they found a 68-year-old man with traumatic injuries.

Community members on-scene had already started life-saving efforts. However, the man died on scene.

PPB activated its Major Crash Team. During the initial investigation, law enforcement determined the crash occurred in a MCSO patrol district.

PPB notified MCSO and an on-duty deputy assigned to the East County Vehicular Crimes Team responded to assist with the investigation.

Based on the preliminary investigation, the bicyclist was traveling south, lost control of his bike after potentially hitting a rock on the shoulder of the roadway, fell, and was then struck by an SUV traveling south.

Initial first responders found a bicycle helmet on scene, which they believe the 68-year-old victim was wearing at the time of the crash.

The driver, a 32-year-old man, remained on scene.

At this time, no arrests have been made and no citations issued. Once the investigation is complete, it will be submitted to the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office (MCDA) for review.

MCDA will make a charging decision based on the available evidence and upon conducting a legal analysis.

The bicyclist is identified as Rutilo Moreno Jorge.

MCSO recognizes the assistance of PPB’s Major Crash Team for their initial response and assistance with this investigation and the Lake Oswego Police Department and Oregon Department of Transportation for assisting with traffic control.

MCSO also commends the efforts of the community members who provided immediate care to Mr. Jorge.

The East County Vehicular Crimes Team (VCT) is comprised of specially trained law enforcement members from the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, Gresham Police Department and Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office. VCT is responsible for investigating serious and deadly vehicle crashes and crimes in Gresham, Fairview, Maywood Park, Troutdale, Wood Village and unincorporated Multnomah County.

If anyone has any information regarding this incident, they are asked to contact 503-988-0560 and reference case number 25-44005.

No additional details are available for release.

No photos from the scene are available.

The information contained in this news release is based on a preliminary review of the details available to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. As the investigation progresses, information may change.

MCSO Deputies Arrest Felon Accused Of Possessing Firearm, Stolen Pickup (Photo) - 10/20/25

MULTNOMAH COUNTY, Ore. (MCSO) – Deputies with the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) have arrested a 30-year-old felon accused of being in unlawful possession of a firearm and a stolen pickup.  

 

Just before 10 p.m. on Sunday, October 19, 2025, a MCSO deputy saw a pickup parked at a closed gas station near 521 Southwest Halsey Street in Troutdale.  The deputy ran the pickup’s license plate and learned the vehicle was wanted in connection with a possible robbery out of Umatilla County. Deputies also learned a firearm was taken during the initial incident.  

 

The vehicle left the area before the MCSO deputy could conduct a traffic stop. However, the deputy immediately shared information about the pickup’s last known location with other patrol deputies and nearby agencies.  

 

Around 10:30 p.m., a separate MCSO deputy found the pickup parked at another gas station near 2533 Southwest Cherry Park Road. MCSO deputies and Gresham Police Department officers set up containment in the area, blocking off potential exits to the parking lot.  

 

Once deputies locked the area down, they approached the pickup and began giving the person inside instructions.  

 
The person inside, later identified as 30-year-old Jacob Richard Mack, initially refused to cooperate with the orders to exit the pickup.  

 

After multiple use of force warnings, deputies used a less-lethal projectile device to create better sightlines into the pickup for officer safety and to gain Mack’s compliance.  

 

The tactical planning had the desired outcome with Mack eventually exiting the truck without any further incident.  

 

There were no reported injuries.  

 

During the investigation, deputies recovered a firearm from the pickup.  

 

Deputies booked Mack into the Multnomah County Detention Center on charges that include: 

  • Unlawful possession of a motor vehicle 

  • First-degree theft 

  • Felon in possession of a firearm 

  • Possession of a stolen motor vehicle 

 

Charges are only allegations, and every arrested person is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. 

 

The information contained in this news release is based on a preliminary review of the details available to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. As the investigation progresses, information may change.
