Five Snohomish County men named in drug and gun trafficking indictments
EVERETT — Federal and local law enforcement officers arrested 10 people Tuesday, including five from Snohomish County, in connection with three alleged interrelated drug and gun trafficking conspiracies.
Silvestre Ramos Martinez, 35, and Jose Manuel Ramos Ibarra “Kora,” 28, of Everett, were arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking related charges alongside Luis Humberto Lamas-Guzman, 25, of Lynnwood, Eduardo Villavicencio-Salido, 44, and Jose Navarro Hernandez “Robert,” 46, of Marysville, the release said.
After a year-long investigation, the arrests yielded around 100,000 fentanyl pills, 34 kilograms of fentanyl powder, 3.7 kilos of methamphetamine, nearly a kilogram of heroin, 8.7 kilos of cocaine and $40,000 in cash during a coordinated operation Tuesday, according to a United States Department of Justice press release.
“These defendants were trafficking fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin on the streets of western Washington. These drugs take a heavy toll on our community,” said United States Attorney Charles Neil Floyd in the release. “Worse yet, this group trafficked in dozens of firearms – some of them high powered assault style weapons. Yesterday alone, law enforcement seized 34 firearms.”
