PORT ANGELES, Wash. Nearly $7 million worth of methamphetamine and cocaine found on the beaches near Port Angeles on two different days in the past week, according to the Clallam County Sheriffs Office.
The first was found on April 7, when a Clallam County resident told deputies that he found a large duffel bag on the beach west of Port Angeles. The resident looked inside the bag and found white crystal substances and the Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team confirmed that the substance was probably methamphetamine.
Crew members said Gockerell signaled to his crew that his surface-supplied air umbilical cord was “unable to clear.” The crew interpreted that as his cord was entangled in debris, Keegan said.
Gockerell’s crewmates and officers with the state Department of Natural Resources, who were supervising the geoduck harvesting, pulled Gockerell free after a struggle and brought him aboard the commercial fishing boat, Keegan said.
CPR was performed as the boat took Gockerell from the Dungeness West geoduck tract, which is about 6.5 miles (10 kilometers) east of the Coast Guard Station on Ediz Hook, to the Port Angeles Marina. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
