Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team officers said they served a search warrant on March 12 at the residence of 24-year-old Seth Roggi, on Clarice Street in the Saddle Butte Estates area of Winchester, after finding evidence of the heroin trafficking.
Officers said the warrant was the result of a several month-long investigation into drug trafficking by Roggi, and DINT developed information that Roggi was frequently traveling to Portland to purchase dealer amounts of heroin to sell in the Roseburg area. DINT undercover officers had purchased heroin from Roggi through an informant.

Robert Tiller, 24, who was also at the home when the warrant was served, was arrested for Frequenting a Place Where Drugs are Used or Sold.

While police were at the home, they say a customer of Roggi's texted his phone, asking to buy some heroin. Lawrence Claypool, 42, and Jeanne Spinner, 56, both of Roseburg came to the residence and tried to buy heroin from a DINT Detective. They were cited for Conspiracy to Possess Heroin and released due to medical concerns.
Seth Roggi was charged with Unlawful Possession of Heroin and Unlawful Possession of MDMA (Ecstacy).
