Law enforcement seized 200,000 fentanyl pills, four kilograms of cocaine, 60 firearms, several Glock “switches,” multiple suppressors, and $250,000 in cash during a major drug bust. Lamin Saho, aka “Buck,” who the attorney’s office called a “significant fentanyl dealer,” was identified in a wiretap investigation that ended with 14 arrests in 2025.
“Mr. Saho distributed thousands of fentanyl pills – the calls recorded on the wiretap indicated he had access to as many as 10,000 pills at a time,” U.S. Attorney Charles Floyd stated via the release. “Each one of those pills had the potential of killing the user. Our community is safer when we are able to prosecute these drug trafficking rings and get the suppliers behind bars.”The drug trafficking ring operated from Kent to Everett, with members frequenting two locations in Seattle’s University District. Saho was one of the more prolific fentanyl distributors, the attorney’s office noted. Even after law enforcement seized 5,000 pills from him during a traffic stop, the wiretap showed he continued to traffic fentanyl. Through the investigation, law enforcement seized 200,000 fentanyl pills, four kilograms of cocaine, 60 firearms, several Glock “switches,” multiple suppressors, and $250,000 in cash. “Fentanyl is a dangerous drug that has devastated far too many lives. One has only to walk out on the streets of Seattle to see how it has devastated our community,” Judge John H. Chun said at Saho’s sentencing hearing, according to the release.Meanwhile, another leader in the organization, 28-year-old Cooper Sherman from Seattle, was sentenced in November to 10 years in prison. Other members of the drug ring were sentenced to prison terms ranging from four to six years. Saho was ordered to serve four years of supervised release following his six-year term. However, the attorney’s office noted he is a citizen of The Gambia and does not have immigration status in the U.S. Therefore, he will likely be removed following his prison sentence.Man accused of stealing trooper’s vehicle on Christmas found incompetent to stand trialIntoxicated Seahawks fan arrested after walking onto Lumen Field After the Seahawks' NFC Championship victory, an intoxicated fan was arrested for walking on the field and reportedly making physical contact with a coach.Witnesses scatter from Chelan County shooting, teen suspect arrested An 18-year-old suspect was arrested in Chelan County following a Friday night shooting that sent a 22-year-old man to the hospital.Chrystal Ortega's tireless dedication recently earned her the WSECU Community Champions Award and a $1,000 grant to further the mission.When Shawn Tibbitts opened Tibbitts FernHill, he was just trying to survive.
