Detectives with the Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team (DINT) charged a 54-year-old Dillard man, Lawrence Enz, with unlawful possession and distribution of methamphetamine after a traffic stop in Roseburg, Oregon. DINT Commander Lieutenant Nick Hansen said Enz was found in possession of 26.6 grams of meth, which is considered a dealer amount. Enz was also charged with a parole violation and is being held on $20,000 bail.

Why it matters

This arrest is part of ongoing efforts by local law enforcement to combat the distribution of hard drugs like methamphetamine in Douglas County, which has seen an increase in overdoses and other drug-related crimes in recent years. The seizure of a 'dealer amount' of meth suggests DINT is targeting mid-level drug dealers as part of a broader strategy to disrupt the local supply chain.

The details

According to Lieutenant Hansen, DINT detectives assisted the Roseburg Police Department in conducting a traffic stop on Enz's vehicle in the 1100 block of Northwest Garden Valley Boulevard around noon on Thursday. During the stop, they allegedly found Enz in possession of 26.6 grams of methamphetamine, an amount considered indicative of drug distribution rather than personal use.

  • The traffic stop and arrest occurred around 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 13, 2026.
