OPNET nets arrests

The Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team (OPNET) has made several arrests in recent weeks. They include:

 

Stephanie D. Caldwell

Caldwell, 20, of Port Angeles was arrested by OPNET on Thursday, Jan. 9.

On Jan. 8, OPNET, assisted by the Port Angeles Police Department and the United States Border Patrol, served a narcotics search warrant at a hotel in the 500 block of East Front Street.

OPNET arrested Garret Horstman at the hotel because OPNET had developed probable cause to believe that Horstman had delivered heroin to OPNET on three separate occasions in November and December of 2013. OPNET also developed probable cause to believe that Caldwell was Horstman’s accomplice during one of the deliveries. Caldwell was booked in to the Clallam County Jail. Her case will be reviewed by the Clallam County Prosecutor.
