Another defendant in a Corvallis drug bust — code-named “Blowout” — was sentenced Friday in Benton County Circuit Court.

Andrew James Westlund, 20, pleaded guilty to possession of more than one ounce of marijuana, and he was granted a conditional discharge.

“We had a picture with him holding a large bag of marijuana,” Chief Deputy District Attorney Chris Stringer said. “There was no evidence that he was involved in the dealing.”

The picture was taken in the apartment where Westlund and several co-defendants in the case have lived for the past two years.

Stringer said Westlund had no prior drug-related record. The conditional discharge is a standard response for a first-time drug case.

Westlund is a student at Oregon State University, majoring in construction engineering management. He is one of seven current and former Oregon State University students involved in a local drug operation.

The drug bust on April 15 resulted in the seizure of nearly one pound of cocaine, 30 pills of ecstasy, prescription drugs and more than $13,000 in cash, according to court documents.

The students who have already pleaded guilty received lesser sentences for their cooperation in identifying the alleged drug supplier, Emmanuel Ortiz-Rodriguez, 26, of Albany.

Ortiz-Rodriguez once worked with one of the students at a department store warehouse. Albany police arrested him on charges of cocaine delivery, cocaine possession, child neglect and possession of a controlled substance. He remains at the Linn County jail pending an evidentiary hearing scheduled for 9 a.m. Oct. 10 in Linn County Circuit Court.

Following Westlund’s sentencing, only one of the seven defendants has not yet accepted a plea bargain.

Paul Wessinger, 19, has a court appearance scheduled for Sept. 18 in connection with cocaine possession and delivery charges. He is expected to enter into a plea agreement then.

Cory Benjamin Barr, 19, pleaded guilty Aug. 28 to attempted possession of ecstasy and was sentenced to five months in jail, 12 months of post-prison supervision and a six-month driver’s license suspension.

Craig Shearmire, 19, pleaded guilty on July 22 to cocaine delivery and received a drug diversion sentence of nine months. Shearmire reportedly was indirectly involved by encouraging undercover police to leave money with Barr as he went to pick up drugs for delivery.

Jeffrey Kauppi, 24, and Jesse Shen, 27, pleaded guilty to cocaine delivery and were sentenced June 16 to three years’ probation and 15 and 30 days in jail, respectively.

Thomas Habelt, 24, pleaded guilty to child neglect on May 12 for subjecting his young son to a drug environment and was sentenced to 20 days in jail and two years’ probation.

Stringer said the community might have a misconception of what the students’ sentences mean, because they appear to be relatively light. Barr received far more jail time than the other students convicted so far, in exchange for the possibility that he could get his record expunged in three years.

In the students’ sentences, Stringer said, he was restricted by sentencing guidelines that allow for minimal sentences for drug crimes if there is little or no criminal history. Barr’s sentence was higher because he agreed to go outside the sentencing guidelines to get a lesser felony conviction.
