More charges, arrests in drug investigations focused on West End

PORT ANGELES — A 46-year-old Forks man has been charged with three counts of delivery of methamphetamine for alleged sales that occurred in and around Forks last May and June, authorities announced.

Darrin Roy Bryan,who was charged Monday, will be arraigned Friday in Clallam County Superior Court.

The Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team said Bryan sold a combined 7.2 grams of methamphetamine to an informant for $370 last spring and summer.

One of the alleged sales occurred within 1,000 feet of a school bus stop, which enhances the severity of the charge.

OPNET requested the assistance of the Forks Police Department in locating and apprehending Bryan, OPNET supervisor Jason Viada said.

Bryan was arrested by Forks police last Wednesday.

Bryan is the eighth suspect in a Forks-area emphasis by OPNET, Clallam County sheriff’s deputies and Forks police.

Jeremy Brown, Andrew Davila, Florena Marie Pisani, Arthur Akuna, Kristin Hedin-Akuna, and Leonal Chase, all of Forks, have recently been arrested and charged with drug crimes, Viada said.

More arrests are anticipated, he added.

Sequim man

Meanwhile, Monty John Robuck of Sequim was arrested Saturday on a $5,000 warrant for charges of four counts of delivery of methamphetamine near a school bus stop.

The charges were the result of an OPNET investigation in the Sequim area in July 2013.

OPNET developed probable cause to believe that Robuck, 55, delivered methamphetamine on four occasions, totaling 75.3 grams.

The sales added up to $2,500, court papers said.

Robuck will be arraigned Friday in Clallam County Superior Court.
