St. Johns area man arrested for murder is also believed to have been involved in drug dealing and dog fighting, according to authorities.

Portland police arrested 28-year-old Leon James Scott after 49-year-old James Kenneth Miller was found shot to death near North Midway Avenue and North Columbia Boulevard earlier in February.

Detectives said they found evidence of drug trafficking and dog-fighting after serving a warrant at the suspect’s home. Investigators also seized six pit bulls.

A Multnomah County Grand Jury indicted Scott for murder, drug possession and delivery, and one count of dog fighting.

Anyone with information in the case is encouraged to call the Portland Police Bureau at 503-823-3333
