(SALEM, Ore.) - On October 5, 2010 the Yamhill County Interagency Narcotics Team (YCINT) executed a search warrant at a West Salem apartment after discovering methamphetamine was being sold from the location. The investigation was made a priority when it was discovered a young child also lived at the residence and that the location was located directly next door to a grade school.

During the service of the warrant, detectives seized approximately 2 ounces of methamphetamine, marijuana, cash, and paraphernalia used for the use and distribution of meth. Taken into custody was Salem resident Susan Lynn Jimenez, 40 years, of 1568 Brush College Road NW, Salem.
