BOISE — Both Boise men wanted on drug charges after their involvement in a June plane crash in Oregon have now been arrested.
Matthew Thompson, 38, and Zachary Moore, 34, are now both in police custody, according to a statement from the Boise Police Department. The two were arrested on suspicion of trafficking in marijuana in Medford, Oregon, following a June 8 plane crash, according to the Medford Mail Tribune.
Not long after that, back in Bosie, police began to receive reports about possible drug activity in the city’s North End, according to the department’s statement. On June 12, Boise police officers, alongside agents from Homeland Security Investigations, conducted a search warrant of the home. They found evidence Moore and Thompson lived there, and also that they manufactured drugs there, according to the news release.
Police obtained a search warrant for the arrest of the two men. They caught up with Thompson Wednesday, and arrested him in the area of Five Mile and Lake Hazel roads, according to the release. He has remained in the Ada County Jail on a federal detention warrant.
On Friday afternoon, the Boise Police Department’s twitter account announced federal law enforcement agents had taken Moore into custody as well.
