The suspect, Timothy Michael Hanahan, was idenitified as distributing meth and fentanyl to people not far from the House of Charity on Pacific Ave. The home, operated by Catholic Charities of Eastern WA, had served as a home for Hanahan at that time. No one at the home knew of his activities until he was arrested, and they were notified.

Hanahan bragged to undercover agents on multiple occasions about his "big" connections in Idaho and Montana, he'd moved to Spokane from Texas.

He will serve the seven years, plus at least 4 years of supervised release. At one point during his activities, Hanahan had even set up a small 'de-facto' open-air market where he peddled his drugs.
