A San Juan Island man who twice sold cocaine to an informant working with local law enforcement about a year ago in late autumn will serve 60 days in jail for a trio of drug-related felonies.

On Aug. 16, Trevor Kent Easterbrook, 27, was ordered to serve 60 days in jail and pay $2,830 in fines and fees as part of a sentence handed down in San Juan County Superior Court. Three weeks earlier, Easterbrook pleaded guilty in superior court to two counts of delivery of cocaine, a Class B felony, and to one count of attempted possession of cocaine, a Class C felony.

Easterbrook was taken into custody at his Friday Harbor home in mid-February after a team of officers, armed with a search warrant, confronted the 26-year-old on the doorstep of his residence in Sunshine Alley, at about 11 p.m. Four people were inside the home, in addition to Easterbrook, at the time.

According to court documents, officers reportedly seized nearly a half-dozen electronic scales and 46 grams of cocaine – one-tenth of a pound, with an estimated “street value” of roughly $4,000. An island resident of about 10 years, Easterbrook became the target of an undercover investigation a year ago in early September after he reportedly sold several grams of cocaine on three separate occasions — totaling $680 — to an informant recruited by the Sheriff’s Department.

A Class B felony, delivery of a controlled substance carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both; however, the standard range of sentencing set by the state is 12-20 months in prison. As a first-time offender, Easterbrook qualified for a sentence below the state standard.
