A 29-year-old Sammamish man is awaiting charges for possession of heroin and methamphetamine after Sammamish police arrested him Nov. 18.

Kevin J. Gilmore reportedly told officers he was doing drugs on the 3100 block of 213th Place Southeast in Sammamish because his dog was going to be put down and he was sad.

Sammamish officers allegedly found Gilmore with a silver .22 Ruger revolver, 0.3 grams of heroin in a plastic bag, 0.2 grams of heroin rock in a plastic bag, 0.2 grams of methamphetamine in a metal tin, a glass pipe with burnt residue and a 1-milliliter bottle of naloxone, which can be prescribed to treat a narcotic overdose. Gilmore told police he did not have a prescription for the naloxone, a controlled substance.

Gilmore was booked into King County Jail Nov. 18. He was released, with conditions, the next day, according to the King County Jail roster.

When police first responded to reported narcotics activity around 7:45 p.m., they spotted Gilmore near a sewer pump house about 75 yards off from the reported location, down a gravel road.

The officers, familiar with this location and recent drug activity reported by neighbors, saw Gilmore smoke something as they approached.

When one of the officers identified himself, Gilmore reportedly tossed the pipe, put his hands up and stood. The officer asked him to sit, but at that point Gilmore ran down a trail into the woods.

Both officers ran after the man. It wasn’t until 30 yards down the trail that Gilmore reportedly stumbled and fell, which allowed for one of the officers to pin him to the ground.

After Gilmore was cuffed, the officers searched the area and found the gun, various narcotics, syringes, cotton swabs and a laptop.

Police booked Gilmore for investigation of Violation of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. His case is still under review. The arraignment date has yet to be set.
