Tyler Campbell Faces Justice

Portland resident Tyler Campbell, 39, has been sentenced to seven years in prison for his involvement in drug trafficking and possession of illegal substances, including methamphetamine and fentanyl. This sentencing follows his guilty plea on February 15, 2024.

Detailed Charges and Supervised Release

Campbell's charges include distributing methamphetamine and fentanyl and possessing methamphetamine with the intent to distribute. In addition to his prison sentence, Campbell will also serve four years of supervised release upon completion of his incarceration.

Undercover Operations Lead to Arrest

Campbell's arrest in February 2023 was the result of an undercover operation involving a cooperating source. Court records reveal that two separate transactions with Campbell were recorded and filmed, providing clear evidence of his illegal activities.

High-Purity Methamphetamine Sold

According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Campbell sold 84 grams of “100% pure” methamphetamine to the DEA source. This high-purity level of the drug posed a significant danger to the community, amplifying the severity of his crime.

Fentanyl Trafficking Confirmed

In a subsequent operation, the DEA arranged another purchase, during which Campbell sold the source 92 grams of fentanyl. Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid that has been a major contributor to the opioid crisis in the United States.

Arrest and Seizure

When apprehended, Campbell was found in possession of additional drugs and a substantial amount of cash. Authorities seized 142.6 grams of pure methamphetamine, further solidifying the case against him.

Ongoing Efforts to Combat Drug Trafficking

This case highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement agencies to combat the distribution of dangerous drugs in communities. The collaboration between local police and federal agencies such as the DEA was crucial in bringing Campbell to justice.
