Seattle华埠国际区贩毒网络头目获刑十年：Tommy Pham向无家可归者营地分销芬太尼等四种毒品
位于华盛顿州金县（King County）的 Seattle 市联邦法院10月21日判处39岁的 Newcastle 居民 Tommy Pham 十年监禁。美国司法部华盛顿州西区联邦检察官办公室（USAO-WDWA）通报，Pham 在一个贩毒网络中担任供货与分销的头目，把冰毒、海洛因、可卡因和芬太尼卖进 Seattle 的无家可归者营地与华埠国际区（Chinatown-International District），包括 I-5 高架桥下被称为「The Jungle」的营地。
主审法官 Tana Lin 在量刑听证上说，Pham 不只是拿自己的生命冒险，而是把毒品灌进社区、危及成千上万人的生命，毒品与枪支的组合大幅抬高了伤害风险。代任联邦检察官 Charles Neil Floyd 表示，Pham 此前已有一次联邦贩毒定罪与三年刑期，出狱后仍未收手、继续非法持有大威力枪支保护毒品生意。联邦调查局（FBI）Seattle 外地办事处负责人 W. Mike Herrington 与缉毒局（DEA）Seattle 分局负责人 Robert A. Saccone 均指出，该网络专挑无家可归者等最脆弱人群下手，Pham 的货源直接流向华埠国际区。
案情记录显示，调查始于2023年11月，Seattle 警方与 FBI、DEA 以法院授权窃听取证。2024年12月，Pham 被发现昏睡在车内，身边有一把装有15发子弹的上膛 Glock 19 手枪、8克冰毒与1322美元现金；2025年1月的抓捕行动共缴获17支枪，其中5支来自 Pham 的住处与车辆，他本人在附近一家赌场被捕时身上也带着毒品与一支枪。Pham 已于2026年2月认罪，检方曾请求判处157个月；法官另判其出狱后接受五年监管释放。Pham 是同案第五名、也是最后一名被判刑的被告，其余四人此前分别获刑30个月至120个月不等。国税局刑事调查部门（IRS-CI）亦参与了本案调查，执法人员在 Pham 住处还搜出少量冰毒、海洛因与可卡因。

Seattle Chinatown-International District Drug Ring Leader Sentenced to 10 Years: Tommy Pham Supplied Fentanyl and Other Drugs to Homeless Encampments
A federal court in Seattle, in King County, Washington, on October 21 sentenced Tommy Pham, 39, of Newcastle, to ten years in prison. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Washington said Pham was a supplier and distributor who led a drug trafficking organization selling methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl in Seattle's homeless encampments and its Chinatown-International District, including the encampment known as 'The Jungle' under I-5.
At the sentencing hearing, Judge Tana Lin said Pham had gambled not only with his own life but with the lives of thousands of people by pumping drugs into the community, and that the combination of drugs and guns significantly increased the risk of harm. Acting U.S. Attorney Charles Neil Floyd noted this was not Pham's first federal drug conviction: a prior three-year sentence had not deterred him from dealing or from illegally possessing high-powered firearms to protect the business. W. Mike Herrington of the FBI's Seattle field office and Robert A. Saccone of the DEA's Seattle Field Division said the organization preyed on vulnerable people, including those experiencing homelessness, and that Pham's supply funneled fentanyl and other drugs into the Chinatown International District.
According to court records, the investigation began in November 2023, with the Seattle Police Department, the FBI, and the DEA using a court-authorized wiretap. In December 2024, Pham was found slumped in his car with a loaded 9mm Glock 19, eight grams of methamphetamine, and $1,322 in cash. During the January 2025 arrest operation, law enforcement seized 17 firearms, five of them from Pham's residence and vehicle; Pham himself was arrested at a nearby casino with methamphetamine, marijuana, and a firearm. He pleaded guilty in February 2026, and prosecutors had asked for a 157-month sentence. Judge Lin also ordered five years of supervised release. Pham is the fifth and final defendant sentenced in the case; the other four previously received terms ranging from 30 to 120 months. IRS Criminal Investigation also participated in the investigation, and officers searching Pham's home also found small amounts of methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine.
