A month-and-a-half-long investigation by the Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force (SRDTF) into the suspected trafficking of fentanyl, methamphetamine and other controlled substances resulted in the seizure of more than $147,000 in U.S. currency, eight firearms, two vehicles and multiple controlled substances.
On August 19, 2026, SRDTF detectives served a search warrant at a residence in the 3700 block of 207th Place SE in Bothell. The 42-year-old male resident was arrested without incident at a separate location by the U.S. Marshals Service Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force.
During the search of the residence, investigators seized more than $67,000 in U.S. currency, along with fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, Xanax, heroin and methadone. Investigators also seized digital scales, drug packaging materials, drug paraphernalia and a currency counter.
Eight firearms were seized during the investigation, including two rifles, two sawed-off shotguns, two revolvers and two semi-automatic pistols. Three vehicles were also seized.
Information developed during the initial search resulted in additional search warrants being obtained and executed. Those follow-up warrants resulted in the seizure of an additional $80,000 in U.S. currency, bringing the total currency seized thus far in the investigation to $147,830. This is an ongoing investigation.
The Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force is a multi-agency law enforcement partnership consisting of detectives, agents and support personnel from four Snohomish County law enforcement agencies, the Washington State Patrol, and the Washington State Department of Corrections, with support from the Northwest-HIDTA program.
The mission of the SRDTF is to disrupt or dismantle mid- to upper-level Drug Trafficking Organizations operating in and around Snohomish County.
