When Ada County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a 53-year-old man last week who was under investigation for selling drugs in Canyon County they found thousands of Fentanyl pills and other drugs in his Boise home.

Douglas Mather is charged with three counts of trafficking in methamphetamine; one count of trafficking in cocaine; and one count of delivery of a controlled substance in connection with the case.

Maher posted at $250,000 bond and was released from the Ada County Jail Monday.

Canyon County’s multi-agency City County Narcotics Unit (CCNU) asked ACSO deputies to make a traffic stop on Mather on Dec. 7 as part of their investigation into drug trafficking.

It was during that traffic stop where ACSO deputies located over 70 Fentanyl pills and almost $1,500 in cash.

A brief time later, investigators served a search warrant at Mather’s home in the Ustick/Eagle roads neighborhood and found four guns, more than a thousand Fentanyl pills, over a pound of cocaine, over half a pound of methamphetamine, and smaller amounts of psilocybin mushrooms and marijuana.

Mather is set to make his next court appearance on Thursday.

If convicted, Mather could be sentenced to prison for life.

The City County Narcotics Unit, which has detectives from the Caldwell Police Department and Canyon County Sheriff’s Office, was the lead investigative agency for the case and were assisted by members of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Meridian Police, and our agency.
