LEWISTON - Police say heroin was among illegal drugs seized when a search was conducted at a Lewiston residence. According to police, the Quad-Cities Drug Task Force, along with Lewiston Police, has been investigating the sale of heroin in Lewiston and the seizure and subsequent arrests are a result of that investigation.

Court documents say last Thursday an undercover Drug Task Force informant gave a man at a residence on 7th Avenue $150 to purchase illegal drugs.

A Lewiston Police officer then followed the man to 811 28th Street N, Trailer #25, where the alleged drug purchaser went in, came out, and drove back to meet the informant on 7th Ave.

Police say they gave the informant a small bag of what looked like heroin. The informant was then taken to an undisclosed location.

Police discovered the residence where the alleged drug purchase had been made was the home of Lisa C. Jensen.

Police located her and pulled her vehicle over in the 100 block of Levee Bypass Road next to the Memorial Bridge. She was taken into custody.

She reportedly told police the address where the alleged buy was made was her home and that a man named “Tim” was inside. Police searched the home and found Timothy Edward Swecker, who had an outstanding warrant out of Spokane.

Police said they found the $150, 11.7g of heroin, 12.2g of meth, and pill bottles with Jensen’s name on them.

Jensen is facing charges of delivery of heroin, trafficking in heroin and possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver.

She is being held in the Nez Perce County Jail on a $100,000 bond with a preliminary hearing set for July 1.
