CASE NUMBER: 10-5722
On May 21, 2010 the Gresham Police Department served a search warrant at 1209 N. Main Street, Gresham Oregon, as a result of an investigation initiated in March 2010. Gresham Police received a report that 37 year old CLINTON "Trent" WATSON, an unemployed Registered Nurse of Gresham, was selling the controlled substance psilocybin (mushrooms). Psilocybin is a Schedule I controlled substance with strong psychedelic properties. The search warrant resulted in the recovery of suspected psilocybin, information on how to manufacture psilocybin along with the materials and equipment to manufacture psilocybin.
A parallel investigation was initiated by the Oregon State Board of Nursing. The address given for the alleged drug transactions is across the street from Gresham High School, 1200 N. Main. It is further alleged that WATSON had sold the drug to a student. The investigation has revealed that WATSON sold psilocybin on at least five occasions within 1000 feet of a school. A Multnomah County Grand Jury indicted WATSON on May 19, 2010 on 20 counts related to the Distribution of a Controlled Substance to a Juvenile.
WATSON was taken into custody at the time of the search warrant for DCS I with a bail of $850,000.00. Additional charges related to Manufacturing a Controlled Substance within 1000 feet of a School & charges related to Child Abuse are expected. Anyone with any information as it relates to this case is encouraged to call Detective Hogan at 503-618-3141.
