Good old Jason....
Police reveal haul
By Richard Rolke - Vernon Morning Star - October 19, 2007
Thousands of dollars in drugs and illegal weapons were hauled out of a Vernon residence Tuesday.
RCMP quickly gained control of what they describe as an upper-level drug operation in the 2500 block of 43rd Avenue just after midnight.
“The suspects were not prepared for us and within two minutes, the house was secure,” said Cpl. Rob Daly.
Inside the house, officers found a pound-and-a-half of cocaine worth about $30,000, as well as ecstacy, marijuana bud, magic mushrooms, GHB (commonly known as the date rape drug) and ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic.
Also found was a quantity of cash and two weapons. Of most interest was a Colt AR 15 assault rifle, with two magazines (each can shoot 30 rounds automatically).
The rifle is a restricted weapon and it may have been smuggled into Canada.
“It’s a deadly weapon,” said Gord Molendyk, with the Safe Communities Unit.
The house had been under observation for some time.
It’s believed the home was used for distributing drugs throughout the community, and residents were not actually visiting the property to purchase drugs.
While Tuesday’s bust temporarily disrupted Vernon’s drug trade, activity has resumed.
“People are travelling elsewhere to get the supply they usually got from there,” said Daly, who isn’t sure what links there may be between the operation and organized crime.
Four adults inside the residence were arrested. Two men have been charged while two women have been released pending the investigation.
A seven-year-old child was turned over to family members and the Ministry of Children and Family Services was notified.
Jason Taggart, 29, of Vernon is charged with trafficking, possession of a controlled substance and possession of controlled firearms.
Michael Pearson, 32, of Vernon, is charged with trafficking and possession of a controlled substance.
About 30 police officers were involved in the bust, including the RCMP’s emergency response team.

Sounds kinda funny. What gun isn't?

He sold coke and E even when we were 16.
My girl friends used to do cute girl bottle drives; show up at his house and all the other party houses to get the empties so we could buy booze and blow from him. LOL.
