KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – On Wednesday, March 5, 2025, members of the Basin Inter-Agency Narcotics Enforcement Team (BINET) learned Thomas Walter ANDERSON (58) was selling Fentanyl and Methamphetamine from a hotel near Klamath Union High School, in the city of Klamath Falls, Oregon. Members of BINET worked with Klamath Falls Police Department (KFPD) patrol units, and members of Klamath County Community Corrections, and began conducting surveillance of the hotel room and ANDERSON. When ANDERSON left the hotel room, a KFPD patrol officer stopped him. BINET contacted ANDERSON and gained consent to his person and hotel room. Approximately ½ ounce of Fentanyl that was individually packaged for sales was located, along with Methamphetamine, evidence of distribution of controlled substances, and more than $1,000 of proceeds.
BINET is a multi-jurisdictional narcotics task force that identifies, disrupts, and dismantles local drug trafficking organizations. Residents of Klamath County are encouraged to report drug activity to the Klamath Falls Police Department Tip-Line at 541-883-5334.
