PORT HADLOCK — Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies arrested three women on methamphetamine-related charges this week after a four-month investigation.
On Wednesday, deputies arrested Heidi C. Johnson, 50, of Port Townsend and Shane E. Sodano, 34, and Suzanne D. Clausen, 37, both of Port Hadlock.
Clausen and Sodano were arrested for investigation of delivery of a controlled substance in a school zone.
Johnson was arrested for investigation of delivery of a controlled substance.
Deputies said drugs were sold within 1,000 feet of a school bus stop.
Johnson, Sodano and Clausen made their initial court appearances Thursday.
They are scheduled for arraignment at 8:30 a.m. April 1 in Jefferson County Superior Court at the courthouse at 1820 Jefferson St.
Johnson remains in the Jefferson County jail on a $7,500 bond, while Clausen and Sodano were released on their own recognizance.
Detective Brett Anglin said the investigation began in November. It involved six deputies and one confidential informant.
Anglin said the investigation has concluded and the informant will not be used on another case.
According to a probable-cause statement, Clausen, Sodano and Johnson sold meth to the informant on 11 separate occasions from Nov. 25 to March 2.
Deputies provided the informant with the cash to make the purchases.
