Police arrested a 51-year-old man on Friday morning who they say is suspected of drug dealing in Seattle's Chinatown-International District.
Police said earlier this month, another agency arrested the dealer for suspicion of driving under the influence and seized his vehicle.
Detectives got a search warrant for his vehicle and obtained 27 grams of crack cocaine, 138 grams of heroin, sale ledgers, a scale and more than $1,800 in cash.
The suspect was bailed out of jail, got another vehicle and is alleged to have returned to drug deals in the International District.
Detectives obtained another warrant, arrested the man and recovered more cocaine and $13,000 in cash in his apartment.
The man was booked into the King County Jail.
