PORT ANGELES — A Forks woman has been charged with selling $700 worth of methamphetamine in February, according to Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team officials.

Bernadette Starr Guzman, also known as Bernadette Afterbuffalo, 36, was charged with a Class B felony Wednesday in Clallam County Superior Court.

She will be arraigned at 1:30 p.m. Friday.

Guzman was arrested in Forks on May 21 in a cooperative investigation between OPNET, Forks police, the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office and the Coast Guard Investigative Service, OPNET Supervisor Jason Viada said.

OPNET developed probable cause to believe that Guzman sold 29.2 grams of meth for $700 on Feb. 25.

Guzman was not charged for a second sale that allegedly occurred March 3.

In another OPNET case, Alejandro “Alex” Cendejas-Montoya, 19, of Forks was charged May 22 with delivery of oxycodone.

Law enforcement authorities said Cendejas-Montoya sold $100 worth of pills July 15, 2014.

Cendejas-Montoya will be arraigned at 9 a.m. Friday in Clallam County Superior Court.

His case was the 14th Forks-area OPNET case to be moved into the prosecution phase in recent weeks, Viada said.
