Bremerton police have arrested a Belfair man who tried to hide fentanyl in various types of containers and mail them to an Arizona man via UPS.

The local man tried to hide pills in a Hydroxy Cut weight loss bottle and a package of Camel cigarettes, along with powder in a black and red Creatine container.

The man, 49, was in Kitsap County Superior Court April 3. He was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to manufacture or deliver. If convicted, he faces 10 years in prison and/or up to a $25,000 fine for each count. He is being held on $150,000 bail.

On March 6, a UPS manager in Bremerton called 911 after becoming suspicious of a package. They opened the package and found 250 fentanyl pills. UPS researched and found five other shipments between the two.

The local man actually complained to UPS about the suspect shipment not being delivered, saying he did not want to lose the Arizona man as a customer. The Belfair man had previously been investigated in a case involving heroin and meth.
