CHEHALIS – A Lewis County SWAT team arrested three people after serving a search warrant in Chehalis on Monday morning.

Chehalis police chief Glenn Schaffer said there had been numerous complaints that the home, near the 100 block of SW 10th St. in Chehalis, was a drug house.

“This residence has been an issue for us and neighboring houses,” Schaffer said in a press release. “We want to send a clear message that we will not tolerate drug activity and we will aggressively deal with these issues in the City of Chehalis.”

Russell S. Foster, 46, was charged with three counts of delivery of methamphetamine; Mary K. West, 51, was charged with endangerment with controlled substance and possession of methamphetamine; and Seth T. Lloyd, 29, was arrested on a felony DOC warrant.
