PORT ANGELES — A 29-year-old Port Angeles man has been sentenced to 20 months in prison and a year of probation for selling oxycodone to an Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team, or OPNET, informant in April 2012.
William J. Purkey was sentenced Nov. 21 in Clallam County Superior Court. He pleaded guilty as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors that dismissed a school zone enhancement.
Purkey’s criminal history includes two convictions for second-degree robbery and convictions for attempting to elude a police vehicle and hit-and-run with injury, said Detective Sgt. Jason Viada, OPNET supervisor.
Final in 2012 arrests
Purkey is the seventh and final defendant to plead guilty from a group of people arrested by OPNET in June 2012.
Meanwhile, a $50,000 arrest warrant has been issued for Ryan J. Herb, a 29-year-old Jefferson County man suspected of selling methamphetamine on three days last August.
The warrant was issued in Jefferson County Superior Court on Nov. 1, Viada said.
Anyone with information about Herb’s whereabouts is asked to phone law enforcement immediately.
In other OPNET cases:
■ Expy Sanabria, 35, of Lakewood was arrested Nov. 20 on a Clallam County warrant and booked into the Pierce County jail.
The warrant was issued June 7 after Sanabria failed to appear in Clallam County Superior Court, Viada said.
Sanabria was arrested in Neah Bay in April and charged in May with possession with intent to manufacture or deliver methamphetamine and oxycodone.
Other cases
■ Ennis N. Caynor, 37, of Port Angeles was charged Nov. 14 with possession of heroin with intent to deliver and possession of methamphetamine.
The charges were the result of an investigation by the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office and OPNET on Nov. 11.
Deputies arrested Caynor in the 2900 block of Vinup Street east of Port Angeles on a felony warrant that had been issued in another case.
During the arrest, OPNET investigators developed probable cause to believe that Caynor was in possession of heroin with the intent to deliver and in possession of methamphetamine, Viada said.
