Seattle drug dealer sentenced
A 31-year-old Seattle man has been sentenced — in federal court — to five years in prison, for dealing drugs at Third and Pike. The area is known for its high crime rate.
Seattle Police were involved in an emphasis patrol when they said they spotted Kendall Alston repeatedly selling drugs.
They caught him with 244 fentanyl pills and a loaded handgun.
He was also charged with an armed shoplifting in Bellevue. Federal prosecutors convicted Alston on charges including drug trafficking and possession of a firearm.
Three teenagers arrested after crashing a stolen car in West Seattle
Seattle Police arrested three teenagers after they said they crashed a stolen car next to an apartment building in West Seattle.
The Wednesday incident started when police responded to a call from Nishab Narula.
He tells KIRO 7 TV he was afraid his gas station would be targeted by three people wearing ski masks in the Roxhill neighborhood.
“This has happened one too many times,” Narula said. “I always report suspicious activity.”
Later, police found the stolen car and tried to stop it, but the person drove away.
Officers said they got authorization to pursue it, until the teenagers collided with a fence and rolled down an embankment, striking the building.
The 15-year-old was arrested while the other two, aged 13 and 14, were released to their legal guardians.
