Felony Charges in 3 South King County Drug Dealing Cases
Yesterday, the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office rush filed felony charges following a months-long drug dealing investigation done by the King County Sheriff’s Office.
Multiple apartment units, vehicles and a storage unit were associated with drug trafficking in South King County. As noted in the public charging documents, the three co-defendants were under surveillance since the summer of 2023.
As part of the investigation, deputies reported finding 95,000 fentanyl pulls and two bricks of fentanyl powder. Deputies said later searches found more than 125,000 grams of fentanyl, 286 grams of heroin, 1121 grams of meth, false identification documents and approximately $32,000 cash.
Deputies said the drugs had a street value of more than $2 million.
