A traffic stop on Highway 20 in Sisters, at about 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 2, capped a long-term Central Oregon Drug Enforcement (CODE) team investigation with the arrest of Dorian Jay Decker, 28, of Bend.

According to the CODE team, detectives identified Decker as a cocaine trafficker in Central Oregon. Decker allegedly has imported large quantities of cocaine from other parts of Oregon into the Bend area, where it is distributed through various networks.

After a multi-county surveillance operation, law enforcement CODE Detectives applied for and received a search warrant for Decker’s black Honda Fit. They contacted Decker during a traffic stop on Highway 20 at the east end of the City of Sisters, made under the authority of that search warrant.

A Warm Springs Police narcotic K9 assigned to CODE alerted to controlled substances inside the Honda. A subsequent search of the car allegedly located a sizeable amount of cocaine, methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), scales, and packaging.

Decker’s three passengers were released without charges.

Decker was lodged in the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Jail on charges of unlawful possession, manufacture, and attempted distribution of cocaine; unlawful possession, manufacture, and attempted distribution of methylenedioxymethamphetamine (mdma); unlawful possession of a schedule I drug.

Decker’s bail was enhanced due to the commercial quantities found in his possession.

The CODE Team was assisted in the investigation by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Oregon State Police, and the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office.
