Portland, Oregon - A major drug bust conducted by the Portland police has led to the arrest of a mother and son, Tracie and Chase Harbison, along with five other individuals. The yearlong investigation concluded on Wednesday, Dec. 20, when search warrants were executed in multiple locations, resulting in the seizure of drugs, firearms, and stolen vehicles.

The search warrants were executed at a residence on Northeast 66th Avenue, nearby storage units, and a tiny home near Southeast 30th Avenue and Southeast Steele Street. As a result, Tracie and Chase Harbison are currently facing pending federal charges.

In addition to the Harbisons, the authorities also arrested 44-year-old William Tindell, 33-year-old Ashley Kenney, and 34-year-old Brandon O'Neil in connection with the operation. The bust involved the confiscation of 12 firearms, methamphetamine, a bag of unknown white pills, a bag of unknown white powder, and two stolen vehicles.

This is not the first time Tracie Harbison has run afoul of the law. She was previously arrested in June 2023 in connection with a separate drug and firearm bust at a residence on Northeast Halsey Street. During that operation, a substantial amount of illicit items were seized, including 19 firearms, methamphetamine, fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, another stolen vehicle, more than $10,000 in cash, and a significant quantity of ammunition and body armor.

The Portland police have been working diligently alongside federal agencies to dismantle drug trafficking operations within the city. The successful apprehension and seizure of narcotics, firearms, and stolen property during these operations will undoubtedly have a positive impact on community safety.

Authorities continue to investigate further connections and potential criminal activities linked to the individuals involved in these recent drug and firearm busts. The arrests and ongoing investigations serve as a reminder of the joint effort required to combat drug-related crimes and maintain public safety.

As the legal proceedings unfold, the community awaits further updates on the pending federal charges against Tracie and Chase Harbison, as well as the possible involvement of the other individuals who were apprehended during this significant operation.
