Douglas County deputies apprehend, incarcerate St. Peter

BRIDGEPORT – Late Monday evening, April 29, Douglas County deputies were advised that a suspect wanted on a warrant for Escape from Community Custody was hiding at a residence in the 700 block of Fairview Avenue in Bridgeport. When deputies visited the residence a female who answered the door gave them conflicting stories, then retreated into the house and reappeared with the suspect, 20-year-old Morningstar St. Peter. St. Peter was arrested and transported to the Okanogan County jail.
“Although the renter told deputies she did not know if there were any additional people in her house, they discovered three males and one female inside,” wrote Gjesdal. “The deputies also noticed drug paraphernalia in the house. The deputies secured the residence and applied for a warrant to search for illegal drugs.”
After a judge reviewed and granted the affidavit the search warrant was granted.
“While executing the warrant the deputies found two small bags of heroine, one small bag of methamphetamine, and four glass pipes containing methamphetamine,” wrote Gjesdal. “The investigation is continuing.”
