A 51-year-old Winlock man was arrested this morning when a SWAT team and drug detectives went to his home on the 700 block of Winlock-Vader Road.

A 9-year-old child there was turned over to Child Protective Services because of living conditions at the home, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.

Four other individuals were detained, Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown said in a news release.

The visit and subsequent search warrant follow a lengthy investigation into narcotics being sold from the residence, according to Brown.

George D. Pruett Jr. was booked into the Lewis County Jail for two counts of delivery of methamphetamine and one count of child endangerment, according to the sheriff’s office.

Detectives remain on the scene conducting a search, according to Brown.  They are also in the process of determining any involvement by the four unnamed subjects.
