Message from Sheriff Wayne Ivey

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Whereas not one single individual on the planet really believed that it wasn’t Austin Powers’ bag, not one single individual on a jury would imagine that it wasn’t Bradford Bursey’s bag both, particularly when it was discovered laying proper beside him as he was squirming round throughout a visitors cease.

It began on Wednesday night time when Bursey was a passenger in a automobile that was stopped by BCSO Deputy Michael Tufano, for a visitors infraction on the intersection of Wickham Rd. and the Looking Inexperienced Condominium complicated in Melbourne.

In the course of the cease, possible trigger was developed to have each the motive force and passenger step out of the automobile because the presence of medicine have been noticed inside.

As Bursey and the motive force stood on the entrance of Deputy Tufano’s patrol automotive, Bursey was noticed to be transferring round a substantial quantity, as Deputy Tufano went over to him, he instantly situated a plastic bag close to Bursey’s toes containing a transparent crystal like substance.

The substance contained in the baggie weighed roughly 62.2 grams and discipline examined constructive for the presence of methamphetamine.

A search of the inside of the automobile didn’t disappoint both, because it revealed a plastic baggie containing 28 Adderall tablets that have been hidden between the console and Bursey’s passenger seat. As well as, a 3rd baggie was discovered containing 8 Oxycodone tablets that was satirically laying on the bottom simply beneath the passenger door.

After each topics have been learn their rights and agreed to talk with Deputy Tufano, they each denied possession of all the objects. I imply think about the percentages of them being stopped for a visitors cease, on the precise location the place some careless drug supplier had thrown away a superbly good bag of methamphetamine and one other completely good bag of Oxycodone.

After which on prime of that, there’s one other baggie with 28 completely good Adderall tablets, that’s tucked between the console and the passenger seat proper the place Bursey was sitting.

I suppose Deputy Tufano wasn’t fooled one bit by the ole’ “that’s not my bag child” as Bursey was taken into custody for Trafficking in Methamphetamine and two counts of Possession of a Managed Substance With out A Prescription.

Bursey, who was no stranger to felony costs, as he had been beforehand convicted for possession of cocaine, carrying a hid firearm, housebreaking, and grand theft, was given a free journey to “Ivey’s Iron Bar Lodge” by our lodge shuttle crew the place he was detained and given a $39,000 bond!

Solely two issues scare me…Drug Sellers and Dr. Evil.

For those who don’t suppose Deputy Tufano will put your butt in jail for being a drug supplier…Mess Round And Discover Out.

Nice Job Deputy Tufano.
