Authorities say as agents were preparing to serve the warrant, 34-year-old Gabriel Correa became aware that he was being surveilled and abandoned the vehicle he was driving before fleeing on foot into a residence where he reportedly ditched a satchel he'd been carrying and attempted to disguise his appearance.

Correa was arrested as he exited the residence, and the warrant at his home uncovered 10 ounces of methamphetamine, over an ounce of fentanyl powder, and two firearms.

Correa was transported to the Spokane County Jail where he was booked on numerous federal charges related to drug trafficking.
