A suspect arrested in Seattle led to the discovery of multiple guns and rifles during a search warrant.
On June 19, the Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force (SRDTF) completed an operation that led to the arrest of a 35-year-old suspect in the 5500 block of South 129th Street in Seattle.
The operation was coordinated with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office and the Everett Police Department’s Anti-Crime and Violent Unit.
Police said they followed the suspect from the suspect’s “5th wheel” home to a nearby gas station.
Police surrounded the vehicle and the suspect tried to get away for several minutes before he was arrested, police said.
Two handguns were found during a search of the car.
The task force then executed the search warrant and found an additional 12 firearms, including a .50 caliber sniper rifle, two sawed-off shotguns, AR-style rifles and an AK-47 rifle.
During the search, police also found one pound of methamphetamine.
The suspect was booked into the King County Jail on multiple charges of unlawful possession of a firearm in the first degree and possession of a controlled substance.
