Man Arrested for Dealing Rock Cocaine

Deputies and detectives from the Metro Transit Police arrested a Metro driver today for dealing rock cocaine. It was the culmination of an investigation that spanned several weeks.

The driver, a 54 year-old Seattle man, was arrested just before noon while driving Route 42. The arrest occurred at S. Leo and Beacon Ave South.

Metro Transit Police conducted several undercover buys from the driver, including immediately prior to today’s arrest. Not all of the buys occurred from Metro busses.

Transit police were originally alerted to the man’s illegal activities by another Metro employee.

A search of the suspect’s home is currently underway. He will be booked into the King County Jail shortly.
