Man caught with enough fentanyl to wipe out a small city was previously LET OFF by Dem governor
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Washington man arrested on nearly a dozen drug and weapons charges was previously granted clemency by former Democratic Governor Jay Inslee in 2019, it has emerged.

Percy Levy, 54, was arrested Thursday during a traffic stop in Everett following a 16-month investigation by the Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force, as reported by the Lynwood Times.

Detectives later searched Levy's home where they made a shocking discovery - a massive drug haul including 556 grams of fentanyl - enough to kill approximately 278,000 people, according to the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

Despite his lengthy criminal history, former Governor Inslee granted Levy clemency in 2019, allowing him to walk free, as revealed by Fox News.

Detectives also found 2,818 grams of powder cocaine, 14.7 grams of rock cocaine, as well as a handgun when they searched his home. The bust also uncovered packaging material, and a digital scale signifying intent to distribute. Levy faced 11 Class B Felony charges, including unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of a stolen firearm and multiple counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.

Levy, who is on the Board of the Black Lives Matter chapter, was held on a $1.5 million bond.

According to the outlet, Levy's criminal past dates back to when he was just 13 years old.

In 2002, he was arrested for a drug house robbery and subsequently spent 17 years behind bars.

In the six years following his release, Levy appeared to turn his life around, working as a community outreach specialist for the Washington Defender Association and founding Redemption Auto, a car dealership in Everett.

He also served as treasurer on the Board of the Black Lives Matter Seattle-King County chapter and reportedly dedicated himself to criminal justice reform.

In February, Inslee signed a law allowing Seattle to replace an exodus of police officers with illegal migrants.

Washington's largest city had just 913 cops to serve its 750,000 people after losing 725 officers in the last five years.

As a result, Its police department tweaked the rules to allow applications from migrants who crossed the border illegally as children and are registered on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), or 'Dreamers', program. Inslee made it so they can be chosen above an equally qualified candidate if they speak more than one language.

In 2020, the Washington Governor dropped out of the presidential race. The then-68-year-old made fighting climate change the central theme of his short-lived presidential campaign.

'It's become clear I'm not going to carrying the ball. I'm not going to be President so I'm withdrawing from the race,' he said.

'I've been fighting climate change for 25 years and I've never been so confident of the ability of America ... to move the ball.
