Traffic stop, K-9 Sadie’s alert leads to pound of methamphetamine, arrest of two Redmond residents
REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Redmond police arrested a man and woman Wednesday evening after a traffic stop and alert by drug detection K-9 Sadie led to the seizure of more than a pound of methamphetamine.
Lt. April Huey said Thursday that RPD street crimes detectives concluded an ongoing drug investigation with a traffic stop near Redmond around 7:45 p.m.
The arrests followed an investigation into the sale of commercial quantities of methamphetamine. The operation was assisted by the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement Team (CODE).
The discovery of the methamphetamine followed an alert from K-9 Sadie. During the traffic stop, the detection dog alerted officers to the vehicle, where detectives found more than a pound of the drug, along with evidence of drug sales, Huey said.
Sadie has served as a detection dog with the Redmond Police Department for more than two years. During 2025, she was involved in 24 deployments that resulted in 36 seizures.
The two individuals arrested were identified as a 45-year-old man and a 43-year-old woman, both Redmond residents. Following the traffic stop, both suspects were lodged at the Deschutes County Jail on charges of methamphetamine possession and delivery.
Huey said Redmond police want to thank the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement Team for their assistance in the investigation and the arrests.
