CRESCENT LAKE, OR -- A couple from La Pine suspected fentanyl trafficking was recently arrested in Klamath County. Detectives from the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement Team pulled over 35-year-old Mario Fivecoats at the Crescent Lake Junction, late Thursday night. Authorities say 31-year-old Rebecca Ann Toepher and her six-year-old son were also in the car.

A K-9 deputy alerted to the presence of drugs in the car and a search turned up a commercial quantity of fentanyl pills and meth. Investigators believe the pair is responsible for importing drugs from the Portland area to sell in south Deschutes County.

They were taken into custody on multiple charges and Oregon DHS placed the child with a relative.
