10 arrested in western Washington drug, gun trafficking bust

PM

Ten people were arrested this week following a year-long investigation into three interrelated drug and gun trafficking conspiracies that spanned Western Washington, federal authorities announced Wednesday. The coordinated operation was led by the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Seattle Police Department (SPD).

The arrests, made on Tuesday, stem from indictments and criminal complaints charging the suspects with trafficking fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin, as well as dozens of illegally possessed firearms. The defendants began appearing in the US District Court in Seattle on Tuesday.

“These defendants were trafficking fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin on the streets of Western Washington,” said US Attorney Charles Neil Floyd. “These drugs take a heavy toll on our community. Worse yet, this group trafficked in dozens of firearms, some of them high-powered assault-style weapons. Yesterday alone, law enforcement seized 34 firearms.” more

  1. 25 KG of fentanyl
    that’s 25,000,000 mg of fentanyl
    2mg of fentanyl will kill you
    25 KG of fentanyl is 12,500,000 fatal doses of fentanyl

  2. A list of latinxs probably some with docs and some without. Put them all on a couple of small fast boats and let the federales have some target practice up north. Better yet, take them and their families for a helicopter ride, out a mile or two over the north pacific, then drop them off gently into the nice 39 degree water. Environmentally sound and permanent. No compassion, no mercy, not for them.
