A Seattle man was sentenced in federal court after being convicted of violating federal narcotics laws, according to US Attorney Troy Rivetti.
Bryce Hill, 28, was sentenced to 420 months (35 years) in prison, followed by five years of supervised release, on Friday after a jury convicted him in a September 2025 trial. Hill was one of 35 people charged in a Second Superseding Indictment for their role in a domestic and international narcotics and money laundering operation.

Hill was a member of the Phoenix-based Monarrez Drug Trafficking Organization (TCO), which was responsible for the distribution of millions of fentanyl pills, hundreds of pounds of methamphetamine, and dozens of kilograms of cocaine between August 2021 and June 2023, according to evidence presented during the trial.
According to Rivetti, the TCO gave medications to a network of distributors, who then sold them across the country, including in Pennsylvania. Hill was intercepted on a federal wiretap and seized hundreds of thousands of fentanyl tablets and powder.
Evidence also revealed that during the execution of a search warrant in January 2023, law officials seized 27 kilograms of fentanyl tablets, guns, and $387,000 in cash from Hill’s apartment. Investigators also discovered 28 kilograms of fentanyl pills, 7.5 kilograms of fentanyl powder, three kilograms of cocaine, 48 kilograms of methamphetamine, and 20 weapons in a short-term rental in Arizona.
The jury concluded that Hill conspired with others to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine, 400 grams or more of fentanyl, and 500 grams or more of methamphetamine. His sentencing follows that of 32 co-defendants.
Arnold P. Bernard Jr. and Katherine C. Jordan, Assistant United States Attorneys, prosecuted this case for the government.
