Seattle police officers arrested an armed, 31-year-old felon and his accomplice during a narcotics operation in Capitol Hill this afternoon.
At about 3:15 p.m., officers saw a man selling drugs to several people near Broadway East and East Olive Way, an area designated as “SODA Zone 4,” according to the police report.
Officers also saw a 20-year-old woman accepting cash in exchange for the drugs he sold. An arrest team took the suspects into custody without incident. Police recovered:
- 10.3g of Fentanyl
- $455 Cash
- Scale, plastic baggies
- Handgun
The man, armed with the gun, also had a $10,000 felony narcotics warrant. His previous felony convictions for Drive-by-Shooting and Assault prohibit him from having firearms.
Police booked him into the King County Jail for Sale and Delivery of Synthetic Narcotics and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm. Officers investigated and released the woman from the East Precinct.
Detectives in the Narcotics Unit will be assigned to this case.
