Wagner, pleaded guilty to unlawfully distributing controlled substances, specifically psilocybin, to two West Linn high school students. The case- part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), was investigated by the West Linn Police Department with assistance from the FBI and Clackamas County Interagency Task Force.

The PSN-based core principles are: Fostering community trust and legitimacy, Supporting organizations within the local community that seek to prevent violence from occurring in the first place, Setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, Measuring the results. Wagner knowingly distributed psilocybin, a Schedule I controlled substance, and later admitted to also possessing a firearm in connection with the offense. He now faces a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison, or a $2 million fine, and 8 years of supervised release. Scott M. Kerin, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon, is prosecuting the case. Sentencing by a U.S. District Judge is expected on August 26.
