Police: Everett man sold meth, fentanyl out of motel room

EVERETT, Wash. - An Everett man was arrested at the end of a months-long narcotics investigation, accused of selling drugs out of a motel room.

According to the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office, detectives were investigating a man believed to be selling drugs from a motel room at the Sunrise Inn in Everett, located near Evergreen Way and Casino Road. Investigators suspected the man was supplying users in that area for several months.

Detectives identified the suspect and conducted a high-risk traffic stop on him on Friday, Aug. 23.

Authorities say the man had a supply of fentanyl on his lap as he was pulled over, and was reportedly on his way to a drug sale.

Police arrested him and seized a handgun, drugs and drug money. Detectives then served a search warrant on his motel room, where they recovered even more drugs.

In total, authorities seized 5.5 lbs of fentanyl powder, 700 fentanyl pills, seven ounces of meth, heroin and crack cocaine.

The Everett man was booked into Snohomish County Jail, although the sheriff's office did not specify the charges. The case remains under investigation.
