SEATAC - A gang member has been sentenced to over 16 years in prison on gun and drug charges after being busted for operating a fortified, booby-trapped drug-distribution compound in SeaTac.

Prosecutors say 25-year-old Israel Davis, of Bellevue, joined another man in dealing methamphetamine, as well as recruiting teens as young as 14 to get involved in their gang lifestyle.

U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour sentenced him on Friday.

The other man, Albert Barrientes, was sentenced to 20 years.
