Men with ‘extensive records’ arrested for drugs, gun in Snohomish County

Three men from Snohomish County have been indicted on charges of drug trafficking, conspiracy, and gun offenses, according to a recent news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Washington.

Percy Levy, 54, Eugene Smith, 69, and Robert Baggett, 60, were all arrested following an investigation led by the Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force and the FBI. Baggett has been denied bail, while Levy and Smith are awaiting their upcoming hearings.

Officials said the case dates back to 2023, when Levy and Baggett were involved in drug distribution. Baggett sold cocaine, fentanyl, and meth to an undercover officer and identified Levy as his supplier. Smith was later arrested after delivering drugs to an undercover officer at a casino.

A search of Levy’s home uncovered cocaine, fentanyl, digital scales, packaging materials, and a handgun. Authorities also said that Baggett was involved in selling firearms.

Snohomish County men had extensive criminal histories

All three men have extensive criminal records and are not allowed to own guns. Levy’s convictions date back to 1988. Baggett has 14 felony convictions, and Smith had his life sentence commuted in 2020.

The defendants are facing multiple charges, including conspiracy to distribute controlled substances. Levy faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years, while Baggett and Smith could face sentences ranging from 10 years to life.
