During the months of July and
August of 2008, detectives from The South Coast Interagency Narcotics
Team were aided by the Oregon State Police Methamphetamine Initiative
Taskforce (A group of OSP Narcotic Detectives assembled from across the
State). The purpose of this additional assistance was an
inter-departmental cooperative effort to disrupt drug trafficking and
sales in the Coos County area. Over last year the South Coast
Interagency Narcotics Team has been involved in a variety of narcotics
investigations. Some of these investigations culminated on 9/3/08. As a result of this operation, on 9/3/08 Officers from the Coos County Sheriff’s Department, Oregon State Police, Drug Enforcement Administration, Adult Parole and Probation, North Bend Police Department, Coos Bay Police Department, Bandon Police Department, Reedsport Police, Myrtle Point Police and Coquille Police Department executed 3 search warrants, 8 consent searches of residences and 14 arrest warrants on grand jury indictments for multiple felony controlled substance related charges in the Coos County area. Seized and or purchased during this investigation was in excess of 2 ½ pounds of marijuana, 10 ounces of Cocaine, and 4 ounces of methamphetamine. Additionally over $5,000.00 in currency, 9 automobiles used in the commission of drug crimes and five firearms were seized. Identified during the investigation were potentially 7 drug endangered children, reports regarding incidents involving children will be referred to Child Protective Services. This operation was initiated and coordinated by the South Coast Interagency Narcotics Team Director Toby Floyd and involved hundreds of man hours. This operation is a good example pooling resources in the Law Enforcement community to help a financially challenged area combat the drug problem. Of the numerous agencies that have applied for the assistance of the Methamphetamine Initiative Taskforce only three, including the SCINT request, have been recognized as having a critical need and accepted. These types of operations are very important in an attempt to stem the tide of illicit drugs sales in our community. Operations like “Barb-Less Hook” would not be possible if not for the presence of a narcotics team in our area. Regular patrol officers don’t have the time or the resources to plan and implement this type of operation. Due to reductions in bed space at the jail suspects were booked and released at the Coos County Jail.

Press Release October 5, 2007 On October 3rd at approximately 1415 hours, S.C.I.N.T detectives, The Coos County Sheriff’s Office, Adult Community Corrections, and the Coos Bay Police arrived at 63088 Cicada in the Englewood area of Coos Bay in response to a tip obtained by a Parole and Probation Officer that there was a stolen Honda outboard boat motor at this location. The Honda outboard motor had been stolen along with an aluminum 18 foot Fishrite boat and a galvanized Calkins single axle boat trailer from West Coast Contractors earlier this summer, and the engine was valued at approximately $11,400.00. Upon the Officers arrival, Malio Bradley Favalora (47 yoa of Coos Bay), was contacted by his Probation Officer. Per his P.O.’s request, Favalora consented to a search of his residence for the stolen boat motor. During the search of Favalora’s residence Officers initially located a loaded assault style rifle behind a wall panel. As Officer searched further the stolen outboard motor was found secreted behind a false wall in one of the bedrooms of the residence. Additional stolen items were located and seized as well. The additional stolen property was from several theft cases reported around Coos County during the summer. Officers also located and seized small amounts of marijuana, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. It had been determined by investigators some time after the aluminum boat had been stolen that it had been cut up and sold for scrap during the summer. The boat itself was valued at $8,000.00. Investigators are urging the public if they have any information on the whereabouts of the boat trailer to contact the Coos County Sheriff's Department. Mr. Favalora was arrested for Probation Violation, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, PCS methamphetamine, and possession of stolen property. Favalora was lodged at the Coos County Jail.

Two Mexican nationals were arrested shortly after fleeing they are identified as Ramiro Ballesteros-Elorza 31 YOA of Mexico and Jose Santana 22 YOA of Mexico. Coos Bay Police’s K-9 Vico caught one of the subjects that had concealed himself in the rugged drainage. One unidentified Hispanic male subject evaded capture in the rugged terrain he was tracked for hours with the assistance of an additional Coos Bay Police K-9 Athos. The area was so rugged that the marijuana had to be flown out by helicopter equipped with a sling. Portions of this drainage have sixty degree slopes with little or no road access. The quantity of the marijuana was so large that Oregon National Guard Dump Trucks were used to move the marijuana to a secure location to be destroyed. Seized at the location were approximately 4,000 mature marijuana plants ranging from four to eight feet in height. In excess of 30 lbs of dried marijuana bud, scales and a loaded AK-47 assault rifle were also seized. The plants and processed marijuana had an estimated street value of approximately $16,000,000.00. Due to the quantity of marijuana the case will be prosecuted by the U.S. Department of Justice US Attorney’s Office of Eugene, Oregon. SCINT was assisted by the Douglas County Interagency Narcotics Team DINT, The Oregon State Police Special Weapons and Tactics Team, Coos County Sheriff’s Department, Drug Enforcement Administration, Coos Bay Police, Bandon Police, and the Confederated Tribes Police Department. Transportation of the seized plants and assistance in eradicating the garden was provided by the Oregon National Guards Bravo Company 1-186 Infantry “Coos Bay”. The investigation is continuing with the assistance of the DEA. Press Official, I thought I would add a comment and you can call me if you need any more specific information
I am very happy at the success of this investigation. Oregon is being hit hard this year with outdoor marijuana grows operated and maintained by Hispanic Drug Trafficking Organizations. With a reduction in Sheriff’s Deputies patrolling the outer portions of Coos County and the climate here it creates an optimum environment for operations like this to exist.
Drug Trafficking
Organizations like this one make it potentially dangerous for somebody
should they encounter a marijuana growing operation while in the woods.
