PITTSBURGH, Penn. — A Seattle man, along with two others, has been convicted in connection with a domestic and international drug and money laundering case.
Bryce Hill, a 28-year-old from Seattle, Washington, was convicted of conspiracy to traffic fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine.
Hill was charged along with 35 individuals accused of being members of the Monarrez Drug Trafficking Organization.
The drug ring, based in Arizona, is believed to have trafficked large amounts of drugs across the U.S. from August 2021 to June 2023.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation was able to obtain a search warrant for Hill’s apartment using information gathered through a federal wiretap.
While searching Hill’s apartment, agents found:
- 27 kilograms of fentanyl pills
- Multiple firearms
- $387,000 in cash
In total, agents recovered over five kilograms of cocaine, 400 grams of fentanyl, and more than 500 grams of methamphetamine from the 35 suspects involved in the case.
“The dangerous reality of large-scale drug trafficking organizations isn’t just about peddling huge quantities of poison – it’s also the violence they bring,” said FBI Pittsburgh Special Agent in Charge Kevin Rojek.
Hill’s sentencing hearing has not yet been scheduled.
He could face 10 years to life in prison and a fine of up to $10 million.
