SEATTLE — A man arrested in Seattle after a drug trafficking investigation is expected to be arraigned next week in King County Court.

Bruno Moreno-Camacho is charged with possession of fentanyl and meth with intent to distribute and two other drug-related charges. He remains in jail on a $100,000 bail requested by King County prosecutors.

He is expected to be arraigned at 9 a.m. on Nov. 15.

Moreno was arrested on Oct. 27 after a two-month-long investigation.

The King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) seized 95 pounds of methamphetamine and 41 pounds of fentanyl from Moreno’s Renton apartment. Court documents said the meth and fentanyl seized had a street valuation of $2.6 million.

In October, KCSO detectives arraigned a drug buy from Moreno after they received a tip from an informant. Detectives surveilled Moreno throughout the month of October as he reportedly moved and sold meth and fentanyl throughout King County.

According to court documents, KCSO detectives arrested Moreno in Seattle after he met with someone for a “re-supply of drugs.”

KSCO detectives searched Moreno’s vehicle and his Renton apartment where they reportedly found totes of meth and fentanyl, along with a scale, baggies, and "bulk-drug packaging."

Court documents said Moreno admitted to detectives that he was trafficking drugs for a subject based in Mexico.
