After investigation, it was determined that Deane was dealing drugs out of a basement apartment.

Detectives obtained a warrant to search the home and an arrest warrant for Deane. After further investigation, it was learned that another wanted suspect was living at the residence. 56-year-old Brian Godfrey was wanted by the Department of Corrections for robbery. Godfrey was located at the residence and taken into custody as well.

After searching the residence, detectives with the Moses Lake Department Street Crimes Unit recovered methamphetamine and evidence of drug trafficking.

According to the Moses Lake Police Department Facebook page:

Deane was booked into the Grant County Jail on charges of possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver. The owner of the home has been served with a notice of the department’s intent to civilly seize the home under state law if the homeowner continues to allow the home to be used for criminal activity.

The Moses Lake Police Department would like to thank the community for their assistance.
