The South Coast Interagency Narcotics Team (SCINT) executed a search warrant at the closed West Coast Game Park Safari in Bandon, Oregon, revealing a significant cache of illegal drugs and firearms. Authorities arrested 52-year-old owner Brian Tenney on multiple charges, including possession and manufacturing of methamphetamine, after finding approximately 80 grams of meth and eight grams of cocaine, alongside 44 firearms, among them a modified machine gun.
