A Portland man was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of helping his incarcerated twin brother bring heroin and methamphetamine into the Multnomah County Inverness Jail.

A sergeant at the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office reported finding small baggies of the drugs, labeled “stripper girl,” on jail property Monday, a probable cause affidavit said. The court documents don’t say where on the property the drugs were found.

Sheriff’s office spokesman Sgt. Brandon White declined comment on the case, citing an ongoing investigation.

Deputies interviewed several inmates who said Jerryd Becherer, a fellow inmate, was arranging the drug deliveries from inside the medium-security Northeast Portland jail, the affidavit said. Deputies listened to Becherer’s phone calls with his brother Laif Becherer and heard the men refer to dealing drugs on jail property and discuss the area where the sergeant found the heroin and meth baggies, the court documents said.

When deputies contacted Laif Becherer on Tuesday, he admitted to helping his twin bring drugs into the jail since Sunday and allowed authorities to search his car, home and belongings, according to the affidavit. Investigators found several grams of heroin, baggies with “stripper girl” stamped onto them and a little more than $1,000, among other items.

The brothers, both 24, face accusations of unlawful delivery of heroin, unlawful delivery of methamphetamine and supplying contraband. Laif Becherer is also accused of unlawful possession of heroin.

Jerryd Becherer has been held at the Inverness jail since July 24 on suspicion of violating his probation after a prior theft conviction.
