USS Michigan sailor tried to 'distribute' cocaine in sub's missile compartment
Andrew Binion, Kitsap Sun - Yesterday 4:17 PM
As part of a drug investigation aboard the USS Michigan, a sailor standing watch in the submarine’s missile compartment was accused of trying in February to “distribute” cocaine to another sailor.
The revelation of drug distribution inside the submarine comes after a 2019 incident where an officer on the USS Michigan was accused of selling cocaine in Seattle, and the 2020 fentanyl overdose death of a sailor while aboard the USS Carl Vinson, which had been docked at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.
In the recent case of drug-dealing and use aboard the Michigan, two sailors confessed to buying cocaine from a Bremerton man, Chase Edward Brown, 27, according to a Naval Criminal Investigative Service report.
The sailor told the NCIS agent since January he bought about two grams of cocaine "biweekly" from Brown.
