Major Drug Bust Concludes Cocaine Investigation in Douglas County

Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team (DINT) detectives wrapped up a cocaine trafficking investigation on Friday, January 10th, 2025. Working with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, detectives executed a search warrant around 4:00 PM at a Lookingglass residence on the 2800 block of Coos Bay Wagon Road.

During the search, investigators discovered approximately 2.3 kilos (5.2 pounds) of suspected cocaine and nearly one pound of psilocybin mushrooms. They also seized multiple firearms, drug packaging materials, weighing scales, cash, and additional evidence. Several individuals were detained during the operation.

Authorities arrested Ronnie Romo, 43, of Lookingglass. He was booked into the Douglas County Jail on charges related to the possession, delivery, and manufacture of cocaine, plus possession of psilocybin, a Schedule I controlled substance.

Officials note this ranks among the area's largest cocaine seizures, reflecting a broader trend of increased cocaine activity throughout the Pacific Northwest.

DINT operates as a multi-jurisdictional task force targeting drug trafficking organizations at local, multi-state, and international levels. The team comprises members from the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, Roseburg Police Department, Oregon State Police, Douglas County District Attorney's Office, and Bureau of Land Management. Their operations receive support from the Oregon-Idaho High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) program, a counterdrug initiative funded through the Office of National Drug Control Policy.
