Salem, Ore. — Felony Crimes Unit detectives today arrested another suspect as part of a two‑year mail theft investigation. Since the initial March 25 arrest of Ross Benjamin Sierzega and the subsequent April 15 arrest of Brett Todd Regimbal, detectives have been following through all available leads to dismantle the network of mail theft crime in the Salem-Keizer area.

The investigation led detectives to a third suspect in the city of Keizer where this morning, the Salem Police SWAT team arrested Jasson Lewis Ray without incident. With the assistance of the Keizer Police Department, a search warrant was served at Ray’s residence in the 300 block of Kestrel ST N. During the search of the home detectives seized several items in Ray’s possession, including a short-barreled shotgun, a handgun, a rifle, ammunition, and a substance suspected to be fentanyl. Also found at the property were forged documents and a stolen motorcycle.

Ray, who also had several outstanding warrants stemming from other criminal cases, was lodged at the Marion County Jail on the following charges:

  • Felon in possession of a firearm, three counts
  • Unlawful possession of a short-barreled shotgun
  • Possession of a stolen vehicle
  • Criminal possession of a forged instrument

The investigation remains active; however, with Ray in custody, any inquiries into this case must be directed to the Marion County District Attorney’s Office.
