***SCINT PRESS RELEASE*** On April 14th, 2026, a Coos County Sheriff’s Office SCINT Detective applied for and was granted a search warrant for Richard Joyner’s residence located at 93760 Adams Lane, Coos Bay, OR, which is across the street from Bunker Hill Elementary School and The Lighthouse School. At about 11:00 hours, the Emergency Response Team executed this warrant after notifying the local school and took five people into custody, including Richard Joyner. During the execution of the search warrant, SCINT observed what was believed to be a dimethyltryptamine (DMT) lab inside the residence. Due to the DMT lab, ERT contacted the Coos Bay Fire Department’s hazardous material team (HazMat) to make sure that the residence was safe for law enforcement to enter. HazMat notified all law enforcement on scene to keep their distance from the lab due to the toxic gasses omitting from the lab. Upon searching the residence, Richard Joyner was arrested for several restricted weapons, two explosive devices, fentanyl, and methamphetamine. Richard Joyner was later lodged at the Coos County Jail for the unlawful manufacture, attempted distribution, and possession of fentanyl and methamphetamine, all within a thousand feet of a school. SCINT would like to thank the Coos Bay, Oregon State Police office for their assistance with the investigation of this case, the ERT team for the safe execution of the search warrant, and all Coos Bay Fire Department assets who responded for remaining on scene and checking on the health and well-being of everyone involved. SCINT took samples of the suspected DMT, which will be sent to the crime lab for testing. The NWFF environmental unit arrived on scene and seized all remaining DMT found at the location for destruction. The Coos County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the NWFF environmental unit for their assistance with the destruction of the hazardous materials found. “Police action is not indicative of guilt. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.”Photos from Coos County Sheriff's Office's post
