Police in Oregon have arrested the owner of the West Coast Game Park Safari on drug charges after a raid at the facility earlier this month resulted in the seizure of methamphetamine, cocaine, firearms and cash, as well as hundreds of animals being relocated. Brian Tenney, 52, was arrested Tuesday on charges of methamphetamine possession, manufacturing and attempted distribution, the Coos County Sheriff's Office said.
Main Idea: Brian Tenney, the owner of an Oregon safari park, was arrested after a raid found drugs, guns, and $1.6 million tied to the facility.
Key Points:
The raid suggests possible drug crime and unsafe animal care, which can raise costs for taxpayers and local agencies and harm public trust in oversight.
The seizure of drugs and guns and the relocation of 310 animals may reduce immediate danger to nearby communities and improve animal welfare.
