At approx. 7:00 am, this date, Salem Police Street Crimes Detectives executed a search warrant at 3369 River Rd. North in Keizer. The search warrant was the result of drug investigation where (S) Cervantes had sold cocaine.
Once Detectives made entry into the residence, (S) Cervantes was found to be gone, leaving her two children, ages 8 and 12 alone. A search of the residence revealed a small amount of cocaine found in the children’s bedroom. Also in the children’s bedroom where they were contacted, were several lit candles on a shelf close to the ceiling, which had been burning throughout the night. The candles were close enough to the ceiling that the heat was leaving black burn marks approx. 3 feet in diameter on the ceiling. Also found during the search were scales and packaging material.
While Detectives were at the residence, they learned that (S) Cervantes was at work, having left about two hours prior. However, when Detectives checked for her, they learned she had gotten a phone call telling her that the police were at her residence and she then fled. Contact was made by phone with (S) Cervantes, but she refused to come home, despite leaving the children alone. Detectives located a possible address where (S) Cervantes may be at and when Officer’s from Keizer Police attempted contact, (S) Cervantes attempted to escape out the back. (S) Cervantes was taken into custody without further incident.
The children were taken into Protective Custody.
