Multiple Agencies Work Together to Stop Fentanyl Trafficking
Henderson, KY 1/21/2023- On Tuesday, the Henderson Joint Task Force along with the Kentucky State Police made a traffic stop on a vehicle northbound on Interstate 69 in Henderson near the Henderson city limits.
According to officials, the vehicle was being operated by a Bradley Brewer, 50 of Evansville, who was traveling north from Madisonville, KY. Investigators say a Dana Thomas, 40 of Henderson, was a passenger in the vehicle.
During the traffic stop, members of law enforcement were able to locate approximately 1000 Fentanyl pills and a large amount of cash inside of the vehicle. Brewer and Thomas were both arrested and lodged at the Henderson County Detention Center for charges regarding Aggravated Trafficking in a Controlled Substance (greater than or equal to 28 grams Fentanyl).
The Evansville Joint Task Force assisted with the investigation by executing a search warrant on East Michigan Street in Evansville which resulted in the seizure of a large amount of synthetic marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, and more fentanyl pills.
