25 Pounds of Drugs Seized and Two Men Arrested

Two men are under arrest, charged with an assortment of drug related felonies, after Beaverton Police were tipped off to what they was suspicious activity at the Pepper Tree Motel.

Police say they were told two men had seen loading large amounts of items from their room into a vehicle.

Officers originally thought the two might have been involved in credit card fraud. They made a traffic stop and it was determined that they were involved in the drug trade.

Beaverton Police said they found more than 25 pounds of drugs in the car - 4.5 pounds of marijuana, 16.5 pounds of marijuana-laced edibles, 108 packages of marijuana-laced cool aid mix, more than 3.5 ounces of heroin, an ounce of meth, and an ounce of cocaine.

They also found a loaded handgun and money.

Some of the drugs had been hidden in footballs that were then re-stitched.

The two occupants of the vehicle are identified as Markice Terrell Hall, 40 years of age from Seattle and Aaron Hibbler, 31 years of age from St Louis. Both Hall and Hibbler were arrested and lodged at the Washington County Jail
