SEATTLE, WA — Seattle police and the Drug Enforcement Agency seized more than 2 pounds of methamphetamine from a suspected drug dealer working out of a Wallingford-area motel room, according to court documents.

Police arrested Scott Visnich outside the Wallingford Inn last October on a felony warrant for escape from community custody. Police found him in possession of about 13 grams of heroin, but he told them he didn't have any other drugs, and that he was about to "re-up" with his distributor in the amount of up to 4 pounds of meth, according to court documents.

But after getting a search warrant, police found over 2 pounds of meth already inside his two-bedroom motel room, and in his car, court documents say.
