Centralia Police Chief Greg Dodson says a 28-year-old Centralia man arrested on a warrant over the weekend for delivery of less than three grams of methamphetamine allegedly made controlled buys of small amounts of methamphetamine to Centralia Police on three occasions last August. The warrant against Brandon Rogozinsky of South Poplar was filed in connection with one of those buys.
Bond on the warrant was set at $200,000. Rogozinsky had the public defender appointed to represent him during his first Zoom court appearance on Monday.
The new warrant is just the start of problems Rogozinsky has with the legal system. Dodson says police also executed a search warrant on Rogozinsky’s room at the Home Motel last September where small amounts of Fentanyl and heroin were also found. No charges have yet been filed in connection with that
bust.
Dodson says Rogozinsky had not been taken into custody because they were waiting for lab tests to return confirming the drugs. In the meantime, Rogozinsky was one of eight arrested in a Jefferson County Drug Bust in January where he was charged with a Class X felony possession of 15 to 100 grams of methamphetamine with intent to deliver. Bond on that case was also set at $200,000. Rogozinsky was able to post bond in the Jefferson County case in late March.
Rogozinsky also still has two separate possession of under five grams of meth pending against him following arrests in 2020. In one of those cases, he was also charged with a felon being in possession of a firearm after he was allegedly found in possession of a baseball bat wrapped in tape when an ambulance was called to assist a passenger in his car who was not breathing.
