Payette — The Payette Police Department arrested a Payette man on drug-related charges Wednesday afternoon, but details behind the arrest are few at this time.
Payette police, along with the Payette County Special Response Team — comprising Payette County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Payette and Fruitland police officers, served a search warrant at an apartment at 643 South 12th St. and arrested Jose Luis Morales, 32, Payette. Morales was charged with delivery of a controlled substance. Morales is currently lodged in the Payette County Jail. Beyond that, however, Payette Capt. Dave Platt said police could not give out any other information behind the arrest, such as what they found at the apartment or what led to the search warrant, because the case is still under investigation.
“There is possibility that more arrests could come at a later time,” Platt said, adding the investigation could be extended. “This is something, if the information was given out, it would jeapordize the investigation.”
