BREMERTON — An undercover police unit arrested a 38-year-old man and an adult woman May 5 for felony possession of a firearm and drug charges.

The Special Operations Group, a joint undercover unit including the Bremerton and Poulsbo Police Departments, completed an extensive investigation which resulted in an arrest and seizure of property.

SOG detectives conducted a series of controlled “buys” from a suspect and served a search warrant on an apartment at 610 Washington Ave. The warrant resulted in the seizure of 137 grams of methamphetamine, four firearms including a sawed off shotgun, bullet proof body armor, a vehicle, and $688 in cash.

The 38-year-old male is a convicted felon.

“Everyone keeps talking about non-violent drug offenders, but this is what drug dealers often look like — a convicted felon with a ballistic vest and four firearms. We need to work together to get these violent and dangerous people out of our community and keep them locked up,” said Bremerton Police Chief Steve Strachan.
