According to court documents, the case began June 23, 2025, when officers conducting surveillance at Brown’s Lake City home observed Bradley exit the home carrying a bag, place it in a vehicle and drive away. A traffic stop led to a search of Bradley’s vehicle, where officers found a vacuum-sealed bag containing 1,340.2 grams of 100% pure methamphetamine.
Later that day, officers observed Brown leave the same residence with a multi-colored bag and leave in a vehicle. A subsequent traffic stop and search uncovered the bag in the backseat, containing two vacuum-sealed packages holding a total of 2,694 grams of 99% pure methamphetamine.
Officers then executed a search warrant at Brown’s residence, seizing an additional 1,786.8 grams of 99% pure methamphetamine, $12,000 from a safe and $1,000 found in a bedroom.
