Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and DEA, held a press conference Thursday to announce arrests they've made in connection to a multi-state drug trafficking ring.
During the press conference, U.S. Attorney Tessa M. Gorman said the drug trafficking organization was run by two brothers, Marquis and Markell Jackson.
According to a statement released by Gorman’s office, on Wednesday, 17 people were arrested in connection to the case. Several of those individuals arrested were in western Washington.
The two-year investigation looked into the trafficking ring that led to over 800,000 fentanyl pills being distributed across the country. Authorities said that the Lummi Nation reservation in Whatcom County was targeted for distribution.
Authorities believe the organization purchased the fentanyl pills in bulk from Arizona.
“This investigation revealed that the trafficking organization was a supplier to a community that was rocked by four fentanyl overdose deaths in just four days,” Gorman said.

846,712 fentanyl pills
6.6 kilos of fentanyl powder
7.8 kilos of cocaine
29 firearms
More than $116,000 in cash
