Major Drug Bust in Coos Bay

Coos County law enforcement conducted a significant drug and firearms bust at a Coos Bay residence on December 20, 2024. The investigation, led by the South Coast Interagency Narcotics Team (SCINT), targeted 474 N Morrison St., where Christopher Reasor was suspected of distributing controlled substances and possessing firearms.

With support from the Emergency Response Team (ERT), the U.S. Coast Guard drone unit, and the ATF, a search warrant was executed around 9 a.m. Authorities found 14 individuals at the property, including Reasor, who was discovered hiding behind a false wall.

The search uncovered:

13 firearms, including one confirmed stolen from the Coos Bay area.
Thousands of rounds of stolen ammunition, identified as stolen from the North Bend Bi-Mart.
70 grams of suspected fentanyl, along with cocaine and methamphetamine.
$692 in cash, stolen DeWalt tools, and multiple stolen watches.

Reasor was arrested and lodged at the Coos County Jail on outstanding felony and misdemeanor warrants. Another individual at the scene was also taken into custody for unrelated warrants.

SCINT expressed gratitude for community support and extended holiday wishes, while reminding the public that all suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
