Two are charged in 10th installment of string of West End OPNET drug cases

PORT ANGELES — Two Forks-area residents have been charged with delivery of illegal drugs, the Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team has announced.

Meshann Lee Clark, 27, of Forks was charged May 7 with single counts of delivery of heroin and heroin possession.

OPNET officials allege that Clark delivered 0.9 grams of heroin to an informant Feb. 23 and possessed heroin when she was arrested May 6 during a cooperative operation between OPNET and the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, just after she fled from her Elk Creek-area home near Forks.

Clark’s case was the 10th West End narcotics investigation referred to the Clallam County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office in recent weeks, OPNET Supervisor Jason Viada said.

Lemuel Lee “Hobo” Garrett, 74, has been charged with two counts of delivery of methamphetamine, Viada said.

Garrett, of the Three Rivers area between Forks and LaPush, allegedly sold 5.2 grams of methamphetamine for $200 on Feb. 17 and 5.0 grams of meth for $200 on Feb. 23, Detective Michael Grall wrote in the certification for probable cause.

Garrett was arrested at his residence May 6 and was released from the county jail on his personal recognizance May 7.

His arrest was a cooperative operation between OPNET, the Sheriff’s Office and the State Patrol, Viada said.

Garrett was charged last Monday. He pleaded not guilty to the Class B felony counts and now faces a July 27 trial in Superior Court.

Other West End suspects who have been charged with drug-related crimes in recent weeks are Jeremy Brown, Darrin Bryan, Andrew Davilla, Florena Marie Pisani, Arthur Akuna, Kristin Hedin-Akuna and Leonal Chase, Viada said.

Diane Bos’ drug-related case has been referred to the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office for consideration of charges, Viada said.
