Alleged heroin dealer arrested in Centralia

PORT ANGELES — An alleged heroin dealer with Port Angeles connections was arrested in Centralia on Tuesday.

Todd J. Dodge, 40, formerly of Port Angeles, was arrested as a result of a multiagency investigation, said Jason Viada, narcotics supervisor with the Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team, or OPNET.

Dodge was booked into Lewis County jail.

Viada said in a statement that detectives bought heroin from Dodge in Port Angeles in October as part of an investigation.

The Clallam County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office issued an arrest warrant after his location became known.

Dodge has at least 19 convictions, including 11 felonies, Viada said.

Other arrests are expected.

“There are people on the Olympic Peninsula that have sold illegal narcotics to OPNET and just don’t know it yet,” Viada said.

“OPNET will notify those suspects of what they have done shortly after their arrests.”
