Sean Franklin Lee Fowlkes, 28, is being held without bail on a U.S. marshal’s hold at Inverness Jail. He is accused of possessing an illegal substance with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of cocaine base, also called crack cocaine, as well as being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to Sue Rutledge, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Oregon.Fowlkes reportedly was carrying several bindles of crack cocaine when police stopped his vehicle and arrested him at 9:49 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21.Police seized more than a kilogram of crack cocaine, plus powder cocaine, two loaded firearms, a digital scale and more than $87,000 from his vehicle and apartment on Northeast 157th Avenue. Most of the drugs, as well as both guns and cash, were found in a safe and in clothing in the apartment.As packaged, the value of the drugs is estimated at $20,000. But if sold in individual doses on the street, the drugs would be worth $100,000.“This is one of the largest seizures of crack cocaine in a single arrest in Portland, Oregon,” acting United States Attorney Kent S. Robinson wrote in a prepared statement. He also praised the work of the Portland Police Bureau’s Gang Enforcement Team and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for their thorough investigation. “It should have a tremendous impact on the available supply of crack cocaine in the community.”Gresham Police Chief Craig Junginger agrees. “Especially with it being five blocks from the city limits,” he said, referring to 162nd Avenue, which divides Portland to the west and Gresham to the east. “You’ve got to believe that some of that (cocaine) would be finding its way into our city.”Fowlkes is a felon with a criminal history of drug and firearms convictions.If found guilty on the drug charges, Fowlkes faces a maximum of life in prison to a minimum of 10 years behind bars. The weapons charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
