Even with video to prove it, no one would listen to the owner of WBL Services, William Lipscomb, when he said dealers were allegedly selling hard drugs from an RV in front of his Magnolia business. No one, that is, except Magnolia Voice.
The RV that started it all, following an article on this site, has been taken down. Seattle Police announce the arrest a of 58-year-old man after they knocked at the door and found him in the same camouflage-painted RV that recently moved behind Whole Foods. Under a mattress, police say they found 13 grams of methamphetamine, 8 grams of heroin, and a small collection of Oxycodone and Lorazepam. Also $500 in cash, a digital scale, and packaging materials were also located during the search, according to SPD.

The Narcotics Unit gets credit for the investigation that finally nabbed the dealer who had a prolific business allegedly selling heroin as seen on a now-famous surveillance video.
The man was booked into the King County Jail for delivery of narcotics.
In a written statement SPD says, ?The Seattle Police Department remains committed to addressing criminal behavior associated with motorhomes and recreational vehicles.?
