An Oregon State Police detective claimed he found evidence Pendleton business owner Jason Lybrand tried to have his mother conduct a drug deal while he was in jail.
Umatilla County Circuit Court records also show Lybrand, 46, plans to take a plea deal in the drug case against him. That hearing is April 4 at the Umatilla County Courthouse, Pendleton.
