Raid

product is primarily intended for to
bacco use, it would not be subject to
the DEA under federal law.
O’Brien explained the DEA’s deci
sion was similar to confiscating am
munition so people could not use
guns — by depriving possible drug
users of their equipment, agents will
be able to curtail drug use nationwide.
The bust at Higher Source drew
heavy criticism from onlookers,
some of whom were store customers.
“This is bullshit,” Lane Commu
nity College freshman Jonathan
Carley said.
Higher Source sells glassware
and glass blowing supplies, as well
as 420 Gear, stickers, hats and
room accessories.
A bong “can be a tobacco bong
just as easily as it can be a marijua
na bong,” University student Mark
Peck said.
According to Peck, Higher Source
made a point of telling its customers
any glassware bought was to be used
for tobacco use only.
“Even on the bongs they sell, it
says ‘tobacco only,”’ Peck said.
Jerome Baker Designs Inc., a glass
blowing warehouse located off High
way 99 North owned by Harris and
Mohtadi, was also raided by U.S.
Marshals and undercover agents
from several law enforcement agen
cies at the state and federal levels.
Neighbors said federal agents ar
rived at Jerome Baker Designs, one of
the largest glass-pipe manufacturers
on the West Coast, at 6:30 a.m. by the
dozens. By around 2:30 p.m., at least
eight officers were still in the area, in
cluding undercover agents wearing
ski caps and dark clothing. At least six
unmarked cars and pick-up trucks
with Oregon and Nevada license
plates guarded entrances near the
barbed wire-encircled warehouse.
Robert, a local man who did not
want his last name used, said he saw

illegal drug
paraphernalia industry
has invaded the homes
of families across the
country without their
knowledge"

officers cart boxes of material out of
his neighbor’s office. He said some
agents had bulletproof vests on.
Robert added that he had often ob
served strange activity at the ware
house that never ceased, even late
into the evening.
“I’ve always noticed there was a
lot of cars over there — but last
month I noticed they weren’t bring
ing any product in or out, only peo
ple,” he said. “I try not to mess with
my neighbor and they won’t mess
with me. ... They never looked like
they were (dealing drugs), ever.”
O’Brien said all 55 individuals, in
cluding Harris and Mohtadi, have
been served with their indictments.
The two are scheduled to appear in
federal court today, according to a
Monday KEZI-TV news broadcast.
The Eugene business partners
also own Ghettoweb, Inc., Universal
Glass, Inc., Jeromebaker.com, Ghet
toweb.com and Smokelab.com.
Ashcroft said in a press confer
ence Monday that the DEA was
starting to focus on the Internet as
pect of drug paraphernalia sales.
“With the advent of the Internet,
the illegal drug paraphernalia has ex
ploded,” he said. “Quite simply, the il
legal drug paraphernalia industry has
invaded the homes of families across
the country without their knowledge.”

rights, alcohol prevention, educa
tion and crime. West University
task force members hope to help to
better define the involvement of the
neighborhood association, the stu
dent-dominated demographics of
the community, “knock-and-talks”
and the Oregon Liquor Control
Commission’s role in alcohol en
forcement.
West University residents will also
be able to talk to city and University
staff and Eugene Police Department
officials about what they think will
make the West University neighbor
hood a better place to live in, work
in and walk through.
“It will be completely different
from any of the neighborhood task
force meetings that have been held
over the past few months,” Kelly said.
Pegasus Pizza is providing re
