Deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office seized about $23,000 worth of drugs during an early morning raid at Scatchet Head on South Whidbey, according to Detective Ed Wallace.

The sheriff’s office Hard Entry Arrest Team, which is similar to a SWAT team, served a search warrant at a home on the 3600 block of Casey Street in Clinton at about 5:30 a.m. on Dec. 18.

Wallace said the detective found what they believed to be a large amount of methamphetamine in the home. The largest bag weighed about a half of a pound. Deputies said they found smaller amounts of the drug elsewhere.

In addition, the deputies seized a large quantity of heroin, as well as LSD and psychedelic mushrooms, Wallace said.

A handgun and a rifle were also discovered.

The resident, Rebecca McCarthy, 49, was arrested without incident, Wallace said.

McCarthy was booked into the Island County Jail on suspicion of possession with intent to deliver meth.

Wallace said detectives often execute search warrants early in the morning to help ensure that the suspects will be home and because of safety concerns. He said they want to be done by the time any children in the home are heading to school.
