August 30th. Spokane Deputies searched the home and arrested  35-year-old Cody J. Jenson, who was living there. Among the items Officers found in the home included:

" (16) cellphones, (1) laptop computer, (1) bag containing multiple electronic devices, (5) baggies containing controlled substances believed to be fentanyl powder, (1) a baggie containing a rock-like substance to be tested, (5) drug scales (multiple w/ drug residue on them), (1) container w/ white powder believed to be fentanyl powder, (1) measuring cup w/ drug residue, (1) Sig Sauer 9mm Handgun, (1) Black AR-15 5.56 rifle, (1) Magazine containing (30) 5.56 rounds, and (1) magazine containing (20) .40 caliber rounds."

The Sig Sauer handgun had been reported stolen out of Spokane earlier this summer. The SPSO says more arrests are likely, and the investigation continues. Due to the home being within 1,000 feet of an elementary school, additional charges will likely be levied because of the drugs.
