SPD Narcotics seized fentanyl pills, cocaine, xanax, methamphetamine and cash while serving warrants last Friday in connection with an investigation into drug trafficking and money laundering in West Seattle.
Officers from the South Precinct’s Anti-Crime team arrested the 40-year-old suspect in a West Seattle parking garage and found he was carrying 62 fentanyl pills, 28 grams of cocaine and a small number of xanax pills, as well as a handgun.
Narcotics detectives and the West and South Precinct’s Anti-Crime Teams then served warrants at two homes and a storage unit–in the 4700 block of 40th Avenue Southwest and the 3400 block of 41st Avenue Southwest–and recovered a .22 rifle, documents pertaining to money laundering and additional narcotics, including 140 fentanyl pills, 10 grams of cocaine, 20 xanax pills, a small amount of meth and over $4,000 cash.
Investigators booked the suspect into the King County Jail for narcotics delivery and money laundering.
