Washington man accused of having enough fentanyl to kill 278,000 people after getting clemency from Dem gov
A Washington man arrested on nearly a dozen drug and weapons charges on Thursday had been granted clemency by former Gov. Jay Inslee in 2019.
The arrest of Percy Levy, 54, was first reported in the Lynwood Times, a Snohomish County newspaper.
The Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force made the arrest after a 16-month investigation. The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office said the suspect was apprehended during a traffic stop in Everett.
A warrant was later served on the suspect’s home, where authorities said detectives recovered 2,818 grams of powder cocaine, 14.7 grams of rock cocaine and 556 grams of fentanyl. That is enough fentanyl to kill approximately 278,000, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, which says just 2 milligrams of the substance could be deadly.
Detectives also found packaging material, a digital scale and a handgun inside the home.

The suspect was arrested for unlawful possession of firearm, possession of stolen firearm and multiple counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.
Levy was charged with 11 Class B Felony charges, according to online inmate records of the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Bureau. He is being held on a $1.5 million bond.

Inslee granted Levy clemency in 2019, according to a document from the state Clemency and Pardons Board.
Levy has a criminal history dating back to when he was 13 years old, according to the Lynwood Times. He spent 17 years in prison after a 2002 arrest for a drug house robbery.

Inslee’s decision regarding Levy in 2019 came after the 2021 of State v. Blake ruling that reclassified possession of controlled substances as a misdemeanor, the paper reported.
In the six years following his clemency, Levy dedicated himself to criminal justice reform, according to the newspaper.
He worked as a community outreach specialist for the Washington Defender Association and founded Redemption Auto, a car dealership in Everett. Levy is also treasurer on the Board of the Black Lives Matter Seattle-King County chapter.

LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Visitors at the Nevada National Security Site Museum got a lesson in Cold War history and Southern Nevada’s atomic past Saturday.
Retired test site worker Marcus Brown gave a presentation on Camp Desert Rock, the military installation located about four miles from the Mercury site, where the military conducted experiments to determine whether soldiers could operate in a nuclear environment.

Brown said the series is part of regular talks the museum hosts every other week on topics including the USS Nevada, “Duck and Cover” and 1950s Las Vegas — all aimed at preserving the legacy of nuclear testing and its impact on the valley.
“Share the legacy and the history of the Nevada Test Site and the culture that it really kind of imparted to the Las Vegas community,” Brown said.
Brown’s history with the test site
Brown began his career at the Nevada Test Site in 1982 as a radiation health technician, supporting underground tests through 1992. He then moved into environmental remediation and later nuclear operations, continuing to work in the field until his retirement in 2023.
He now volunteers as a docent at the Nevada National Security Site Museum to share that history with new generations. Brown said the museum helps tell a story many locals never heard.
“Come and visit the museum. There’s a lot of culture and legacy and history here,” Brown said.

The McCauley Springs Fire grew to about 722 acres with no containment as crews also dealt with a mudslide that sent debris onto Highway 4.
JEMEZ SPRINGS, N.M. – The McCauley Springs Fire grew to about 722 acres with no containment as crews also dealt with a mudslide that sent debris onto Highway 4.
The U.S. Forest Service earlier this week issued a temporary closure on Highway 4 near mile markers 27 and 40 around Jemez.
“We’re asking the public to please do their part, understand that there are fire restrictions in this area, and just make sure that they’re, you know, before they’re recreating, they’re checking the fire restrictions to know where they’re going, to make sure you know what stage that area is in,” Tiffany Davila said.
Trevor reported the fire grew a little and crews fought both the fire and the weather last night.
A viewer sent KOB 4 video of a mudslide tearing through Jemez Springs. The video shows mud, water and debris flowing onto Highway 4.
The viewer said he now has to find temporary housing because of damage to his property.
