DRUG ARREST AT OAKESDALE

Michael E. Fignani, 39, Spangle, was booked into the county jail early May 31 on probable drug charges after he was arrested the previous night at Oakesdale. A deputy’s report said Fignani was located in a red Ford Explorer which was parked off 27 at the south end of Oakesdale. The report said the officer stopped to determine if Fignani needed assistance and became suspicious when he detected the smell of marijuana after the suspect rolled down the window.

Fignani, who told the deputies he was waiting at the scene to meet a train crew, consented to a search of the Explorer, and deputies found marijuana cigarettes in the vehicle. The report said they also found a bulb device used for injesting methamphetaimine and a baggie which Fignani admitted was methamphetamine.
