SEQUIM – OPNET detectives have removed another drug dealer from our streets.

On September 21, detectives arrested 36-year-old Sequim resident Joshua Dickinson and booked him into the Clallam County Jail on multiple felony charges, including Delivery of a Controlled Substance for selling meth and fentanyl. OPNET is also recommending a firearms enhancement to the charges.

Their case began this summer when they utilized a confidential informant to purchase fentanyl pills from Dickinson on multiple occasions. During one transaction, the informant also purchased meth from Dickinson. Dickinson was armed with a firearm at the time of the purchase.

On Wednesday, OPNET arrested Dickinson in the parking lot of a hotel in the 800 block of E. Washington St. without incident. A search of Dickinson’s possessions, vehicle, and hotel room were authorized by a search warrant, where they found hundreds of fentanyl pills with a street value $2,300, 6.5 grams of methamphetamine, a scale, cash, and a 9mm handgun.

OPNET was assisted in the arrest by the Sequim Police Department and Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.
