Two on Peninsula charged with selling illegal drugs

PORT ANGELES — A Joyce man and a Forks woman have been charged with selling illegal drugs in the Forks area last year, an Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team official said.

Andrew Robert Davila, 32, of the Joyce area and Florena Marie Pisani, 33, of the Forks area were arrested without incident at a residence in the 1400 block of Page Road in Forks on April 15 in a cooperative operation between OPNET, the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office and Forks police.

The arrests were based on probable cause that OPNET developed during an investigation in May, June and July of 2014, OPNET Supervisor Jason Viada said.

Charges

Davila was charged Monday in Clallam County Superior Court with three counts of delivery of methamphetamine and one count of delivery of heroin.

Court papers allege that Davila sold 2.9 grams of methamphetamine and 0.2 grams of heroin to an OPNET informant for a combined $170 in three transactions in May and July of 2014.

Arraignment

He will be arraigned today.

Pisani was charged Monday with three counts of delivery of heroin.

Court papers allege that Pisani sold 4.2 grams of heroin to an informant for a combined $300 in three transactions last June.

She will be arraigned today.

All of the alleged sales involving Davila and Pisani occurred within 1,000 feet of a school bus stop, which enhances the severity of charges.

Delivery of methamphetamine and heroin are each Class B felonies.
