Police in West Linn Oregon were called yesterday by someone concerned about a suspicious car in a residential are. When they arrived police encountered 31-year-old Edgar Antonio Mendoza-Ortega in the process of trying to deliver a few grams of heroin.
They busted Mendoza-Ortega without incident, which is a good thing considering he had his 22-month-old daughter with him.
Mendoza-Ortega has been lodged in the Clackamas County Jail. He’s been charged with Distribution of a Controlled Substance, Possession of a Controlled Substance and Child Neglect. The baby was initially taken into custody but later released to family members.
He is being held without bail due to an immigration hold. Mendoza-Ortega is an illegal alien who has already been deported from the United States once before.
