SUQUAMISH - A 33-year-old Seattle man was charged in Kitsap County for possession of a controlled substance after he tried to retrieve a bag containing methamphetamine from the Suquamish Casino's lost-and-found this week.

The casino's security officer alerted the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office when the bag, turned in by a customer, was found to contain three knives, a bag of white crystals later identified as meth, some jewelry, a small digital scale and some blood pressure medication. The suspect's identification was also in the bag.

As one deputy was speaking with the security officer, the suspect "walked up to the podium looking for his missing black bag," according to the deputy's report. He confirmed the bag was his, and the deputy placed him under arrest.

According to the report, the suspect asked how much trouble he was in.

"I replied it depended on how many points he had," said the deputy, referring to the number of previous convictions against the suspect.

The suspect said he had "a lot" of points.

"I told him he was in a lot of trouble then," the deputy replied.
