SALEM -- Two previously deported felons were among five people arrested in methamphetamine ring raid Thursday.

State officials also took an 8-year-old child during the raids in Beaverton, Woodburn, Salem and Keizer.

Marion County deputies said the investigation started when officers learned about the possible drug ring during a traffic stop about three months ago.
