Tigard Police Detective Chris Haynes recalls the suspected "meth,"or
methamphetamine, house in a Tigard neighborhood "was gross, unkempt and nasty
inside." Neighbors complained of inoperable vehicles, occupants living in a
ramshackle shed and camper, trash and other problems causing neighborhood
blight. Haynes, who is assigned to the Washington County Westside Interagency
Narcotics (WIN) team, had been alerted to the problem house after receiving
complaints and tips from informants. At the meth house, WIN was able to legally
search the home. They discovered meth and stolen guns and arrested the suspects.
