Gearhart drug dealer sentenced to probation By Kyle Spurr EO Media Group A Gearhart drug deal- er was sentenced to three years probation early this month after admitting to selling methamphetamine near Gearhart Elementary School. Leonard Shane Hitch- man will face 80 months, or nearly seven years, in pris- on, if he violates the proba- tion. Hitchman, 45, appeared in Clatsop County Circuit Court Fri- day, Oct. 2, to change his plea to no contest to unlawful possession LEONARD of metham- SHANE phetamine and unlaw- HITCHMAN ful delivery of methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school. The meth possession charge was elevated to a commercial drug offense since Hitchman possessed more the $300, drug records and packaging materials. Clatsop County Sheriff’s Of¿ ce arrested Hitchman in February after a Clatsop County Drug Task Force in- vestigation. Drug t ask f orce detec- tives received numerous complaints over several months regarding ongoing illegal drug activity at 166 Ridge Drive in Gearhart, according to the sheriff’s of¿ ce.

During the search, detec- tives discovered metham- phetamine, drug traf¿ cking records, needles, scales and packaging materials com- monly used by illegal drug traf¿ ckers. In addition, detectives found more than $1,500 in cash and a weapon. The charges against Hitchman occurred in De- cember and in February. “When they served the search warrant, he had a lot of money in his safe at this home,” P rosecutor Dawn Buzzard said. “He had lit- tle baggies of drugs and he sold them to an undercover informant.” Hitchman’s defense was that he won most of the cash in a lottery, and that he was just giving a ride to a wom- an who he was selling meth to. Buzzard said she was especially concerned since this activity was happen- ing close to the elementary school. “Kids go play in the play- ground right there. It should be a safe place,” she said. &RXQW\6KHULII¶VRI¿FH investigates Gearhart, Clatsop Plains thefts One suspect arrested, charged with theft by receiving By Katherine Lacaze Seaside Signal The Clatsop County Sheriff¶s Of¿ ce arrested a suspect in relation to a string of reported thefts and trespasses across the county during the past three days, but the inves- tigation continues. On Oct. 5, deputies took Tyler Morehouse into custo- dy. He was initially charged with theft by receiving in relation to the cases. During the past few days, the sheriff¶s of¿ ce received multiple reports of thefts and trespasses on property ranging from the Clatsop Plains to Gearhart. A caretaker of the Tagg Farm on Clatsop Plains re- ported a person operating an all-terrain vehicle, or ATV, on the property early the morning of Oct. 2, ac- cording to a news release. The ATV was stolen from High Life Adventures, owned by Dave and Lanc- ey Larson. Units from the sher- iff¶s of¿ ce responded and chased the ATV into the woods east of the Clatsop Plains with the assistance of the caretaker. Of¿ cers recovered a utility trailer and other stolen items that came loose from the ATV during the chase, the re- lease states. The incident led the sheriff¶s of¿ ce to discover a burglary on U.S. Highway 101 near Camp Rilea. On Oct. 4, Dave Larson observed his stolen ATV being operated on South- east 19th Street in Warren- ton near Costco. Larson followed the ATV and wit- nessed it traveling down a dirt road off Southeast 19th Street, according to the sheriff¶s of¿ ce. Of¿ cers from the sher- iff¶s of¿ ce, Oregon State Police and Warrenton Police Department re- sponded to the area. With the help of K-9 partner Pax and the United States Coast Guard, the of¿ - cers searched the area for about four hours, discov- ering multiple camps in the wooded area between Costco and U.S. Highway 101 Business. At one camp, of¿ cers found ATV tracks, fuel camps and the cargo rack from the ATV. They did not locate the ATV or sus- pect during the search, but they learned the suspect was traveling between the Clatsop Plains and the camp. The following day, two deputies returned to the area to check on the suspect camp, which was partially torn down. The deputies searched the sur- rounding trails and came across a track indicating ATV travel in one direc- tion. At the conclusion of the trail, of¿ cers located the ATV and Morehouse. The suspect was taken into custody without in- cident on unrelated war- rants. The ATV was recov- ered and returned to Lar- son. The investigation is ongoing as the sheriff’s of¿ ce works to clear the remaining burglaries and thefts.
