PORT ANGELES — Authorities arrested a local man last week after an investigation led to the discovery of drugs and firearms at a Port Angeles residence.

Officers with the Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force (PNVOTF) took him into custody on a Department of Corrections (DOC) warrant at a home on the 200 block of S. Francis Street. A DOC search of the residence uncovered approximately 339 grams of suspected methamphetamine, 527 grams of suspected fentanyl, 121 grams of suspected cocaine, 23 grams of suspected heroin, and a variety of pills, including fentanyl and Xanax. Officers also recovered three firearms, two of which had been reported stolen.

The suspect, 44-year-old Justen W. Defrang, is a convicted felon prohibited from possessing firearms. He was booked into Clallam County Jail. The Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team (OPNET) is pursuing additional charges, including multiple counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, unlawful possession of a firearm in the first degree, and possession of a stolen firearm.

The investigation remains ongoing.
