Sequim man sentenced to two years of community custody in Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team heroin case

PORT ANGELES — Kody Allen Kautzman was sentenced last week to two years’ community custody and three to six months of drug treatment for selling heroin to an Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team informant last summer, OPNET officials said.

Kautzman, 25, of Sequim pleaded guilty to one count of delivery of heroin Jan. 22, court papers said.

He was sentenced last Thursday in Clallam County Superior Court.

OPNET detectives and the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Bureau worked in cooperation to develop probable cause to believe that Kautzman delivered heroin to an informant in the Carlsborg area last July 31, OPNET Supervisor Jason Viada said.

Police said the volunteer informant purchased 1 gram of heroin from Kautzman for $140 cash, according to the certification for probable cause.

The transaction occurred in the parking lot of a Carlsborg gas station, the document said.

Kautzman was later arrested by a Clallam County sheriff’s deputy, Viada said.

Delivery of heroin is a Class B felony.

Another case was dismissed Jan. 22 as a result of Kautzman’s guilty plea.

The dismissed charges were possession of methamphetamine and possession of heroin, court papers said.
