Medford, Oregon– On Thursday, April 3, the Medford Area Drug and Gang Enforcement team (MADGE) executed a search warrant at a residence on Ponderosa Way in Eagle Point. The action followed a two-month investigation into cocaine distribution, initiated after multiple community complaints.
During the operation, investigators seized over 100 grams of cocaine, eight firearms—including untraceable “ghost guns”—approximately $48,000 in cash, four vehicles, and one motorcycle. Two residents were arrested and booked into the Jackson County Jail.
Arrested Individuals:
Ulysses Timothy Chappel III, 55 – Charged with Unlawful Possession, Delivery, and Manufacture of Cocaine. Also charged with Felon in Possession of a Firearm. Stacy Lyn Cramer, 52 – Charged with Unlawful Possession, Delivery, and Manufacture of Cocaine.
MADGE is a multi-jurisdictional task force focused on identifying and dismantling drug trafficking operations at local, state, and international levels. The team operates under an intelligence-driven model with support from various agencies including the Medford Police Department, Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, Eagle Point Police Department, Oregon State Police, the District Attorney’s Office, Parole and Probation, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the FBI.
The task force is supported by the Oregon-Idaho High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) program, a grant-funded initiative under the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), which provides resources to regional drug enforcement efforts.
All suspects are believed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law
