Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives special agents and Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested two brothers in a major fentanyl distribution operation that investigators tracked for two years, culminating in an undercover deal for 8,000 fentanyl pills worth $16,000. The investigation focused on brothers Anand Someria, 23, and Sunil Someria, who operated from multiple locations in Miramar and Pembroke Pines. In a separate case, fitness influencer Westley “Wes” Watson, 42, faces domestic violence charges after allegedly beating a woman and holding her against her will.
“Over the past few months, law enforcement has conducted numerous undercover controlled purchases of pressed Fentanyl Pills from Sunil and Anand,” an ATF special agent wrote in the arrest warrant. Investigators identified the brothers’ operations at a first-floor apartment at 10747 S Preserve Way in Miramar, which they used as a “trap house,” and their “stash house” at 1605 SW 116th Ave. at the Avant Apartments in Pembroke Pines. The investigation culminated when an undercover investigator made a deal with Sunil Someria to purchase the large quantity of fentanyl pills.
Anand Someria drove his Honda to Sunshine Storage at 11960 Miramar Parkway to retrieve a black bag containing the narcotics, placing it in the trunk of a parked silver Hyundai Sonata. Sunil Someria met with the undercover investigator at the “trap house” before both traveled separately to the “stash house” where the transaction was set to occur. “Pop the trunk, dad,” Jonathan Randall, 20, told Charles Randall, 58, according to the warrant, as the undercover investigator sat in the back seat of the Hyundai with Sunil Someria.
Sunil Someria “was apologetic and said that one of his friends was just caught selling to an undercover, things were hot … the narcotics were in the silver Hyundai Sonata directly in front of them,” the ATF special agent wrote in the warrant. The undercover investigator witnessed Sunil Someria “retrieved the bag from the trunk” and counted the bags of pressed fentanyl pills. Charles Randall sat in the driver’s seat while Jonathan Randall occupied the front passenger seat during the transaction.
In the separate domestic violence case, Watson allegedly attacked a woman after becoming upset that she attended a Miami Heat game without him and wore a shirt that showed cleavage. “The suspect is alleged to have physically restrained the victim, shaken her, applied pressure to her neck, thrown her to the ground, dragged her by her hair, and struck her multiple times, including forcibly slamming her head into a table,” Grace Mariot, a spokeswoman for the Hallandale Beach Police Department, wrote in a statement. The woman suffered a cut and scratch on her face along with bruises throughout her body.
“I am going to kill you; I am going to kill your whole family,” Watson allegedly shouted at the victim during the attack, according to the police arrest report. Police officers arrested Watson near Holiday Drive and Layne Boulevard, and corrections officials booked him at the Broward County Main Jail in Fort Lauderdale. “The victim is approximately 5'1 and weighs approximately 125 lbs., while [Watson] is 6'1 and weighs approximately 245 lbs.,” a police officer wrote in the arrest report.
Watson prevented the victim from leaving his house and expressed concern that her family members would notice her injuries and contact police. “I can’t go to jail,” Watson allegedly told the victim, according to the police report. Watson’s friend, assistant, and security guard witnessed the abuse but failed to intervene, with Watson directing his friend to search through the victim’s phone to ensure she wasn’t “cheating” and instructing his security guard to prevent her from leaving.
Both cases represent significant law enforcement operations in Broward County, with the fentanyl investigation spanning two years and involving multiple agencies. The ATF and Broward Sheriff’s Office coordinated the drug operation investigation, while Hallandale Beach Police Department handled the domestic violence case. Court proceedings for both the Someria brothers and Watson are expected to begin in the coming weeks as prosecutors prepare their cases.
