) — With the recent arrest of an Estacada man, the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office is saying they have made the largest drug bust in their history, thanks in part to the FBI.

Back on May 24, MCSO deputies followed a rental vehicle driven by 29-year-old Anthony Barrera, who had been heading from California back to Oregon, after learning of his intent to sell and distribute large quantities of drugs.

Barrera was stopped by deputies and the FBI at a rest stop near Cottage Grove and was arrested.

When deputies and agents searched the vehicle, officials said they found more than 278 pounds of meth, as well as two pounds of ********.

Later that day, investigators also searched Barrera’s home and found two firearms hidden under a closet floor.
