Three Arrested in Spokane Valley Drug, Firearm Seizure

πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

Spokane Valley Investigative Unit (SVIU) and the U. S. Marshals Service Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force (PNVOTF) arrested three suspects on July 20, 2026, following a search warrant at a residence on S. Century Court. Investigators seized multiple drugs including Fentanyl, Methamphetamine, and Crack Cocaine, along with several thousand rounds of ammunition. One suspect was released without charges after four people were detained.

The home on S. Century Court was previously linked to Jack A. Gentry, arrested on July 10, 2026, on federal charges related to drug distribution. This latest operation follows a July 10 search that led to the seizure of 14 firearms, ghost guns, over 3. 5 pounds of Fentanyl, and $28,000 in cash. The three arrested on July 20 are John B. Lewis (53), Lynn (NMI) Ross (57), and Jessica R. Reeves (38), each facing drug and firearm-related charges. The investigation remains active with possible additional arrests.
