On Thursday, Jan. 20, 2011 at 10:29 a.m., members of the Clackamas County Inter-agency Task Force (CCITF) returned -- once again -- to the Robert Eugene Sherman residence, located at 19909 SE Sherman Cooper Drive in Eagle Creek.
Investigators were armed with a search warrant for drugs. Their visit resulted in three arrests on the premises.
At least 12 law-enforcement officers -- from the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office, the Estacada Police Department and the Clackamas County Inter-agency Task Force -- converged on the Sherman Cooper Drive residence on Thursday, Jan. 20. Clackamas County Code Enforcement personnel were also summoned to assess the existing living conditions on this property.
During the summer of 2010, the City of Estacada had been plagued by a high volume of thefts from vehicles in and around the city. Estacada Police investigators cultivated substantial leads that brought them to the residence of Robert Eugene Sherman, 46, on SE Sherman Cooper Drive in Eagle Creek. Their investigation resulted in multiple arrests -- with drugs and numerous reported stolen items recovered and retained as evidence.
Acoording to a CCITF supervisor, immediately following this September criminal investigation, police soon began receiving additional tips concerning this Sherman Cooper Drive residence and blatant, persistent drug-related criminal activity on the premises.
CCITF investigators began monitoring this alleged ongoing criminal activity -- resulting in the Thursday, Jan. 20 search-warrant execution.
Items seized and retained as evidence during this search included:
- An illegal dagger
- Brass knuckles
- Drug-packaging materials
- A scale
- Drug records
- Several baggies of user amounts of meth
- A variety of prescription pills not prescribed to either occupant
- A forged Oregon Trip Permit
- Numerous meth pipes
- Marijuana
- Several suspected stolen credit cards.
While executing the search warrant, investigators also located four adults at the residence who were subsequently arrested and lodged in the Clackamas County Jail:
