Overview

• Brian Tenney, owner of West Coast Game Park Safari in Bandon, was arraigned in Coos County and released after his daughter posted 10% of his $160,000 bail, according to court records.
• The indictment charges include roughly 320 counts of second-degree animal neglect, unlawful possession of methamphetamine, cocaine and a machine gun, and a racketeering count that carries a potential 20-year sentence.
• Oregon State Police say the May 15 operation recovered 80 grams of methamphetamine, about 8 grams of cocaine, 44 firearms with one modified into a machine gun, and roughly $1.6 million in cash and financial instruments.
• Authorities closed the park after the raid and relocated more than 300 animals to sanctuaries or rescue facilities, with a camel, a chicken and a kinkajou euthanized following veterinary evaluations.
• A co-defendant, employee Edith Beckner, is reported to face a 315-count indictment and was arrested, while prior federal inspections since 2016 documented serious welfare violations and incidents at the 21-acre park.
