(SALEM, Ore. ) - On Thursday, at about 3:00 p.m., the Polk County Inter Agency Narcotics Team served a search warrant at 1141 SW Fairview Ave in Dallas stemming from tips the team received starting at the beginning of May of this year.

The POINT team arrested 27-year-old Calvin Craver, who resides at 1141 SW Fairview Ave in Dallas as part of this investigation. During the search warrant service detectives located 19.8 grams of heroin and 23.6 grams of methamphetamine. Along with the heroin and methamphetamine detectives found numerous items used for packaging and weighing of drugs and a video surveillance system on the exterior of the house.

Polk County Sheriff's Office Sergeant and POINT supervisor Mark Garton said, "Evidence also suggests that the sales of methamphetamine and heroin from this residence have been ongoing for some time which has been a continual and substantial burden to the neighborhood and residents surrounding this house".

Sergeant Garton also said, "It is difficult for one agency in Polk County by itself to complete this type of investigation and have the same outcome as the POINT team did today and I am thankful for the investment that each agency provides to the team."

A 2005 Mercedes Benz was also seized that belonged to Craver.

Calvin Craver was lodged at the Polk County Jail and charged with the following crimes:

Unlawful Possession of Meth - Bail $15,000 Unlawful Delivery of Methamphetamine (Commercial drug offense) - Bail $40,000 Unlawful Manufacture of Methamphetamine (substantial quantity) - Bail $25,000 Unlawful Possession of Heroin - Bail $25,000 Unlawful Delivery of Heroin (commercial drug offense) - Bail $500,000 Unlawful Manufacture of Heroin (substantial quantity) - Bail $40,000
