Brady after pleading guilty to possessing with intent to distribute methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine, and possessing firearms in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, announced Acting United States Attorney M. Scott Proctor.<\/p>\n<p>Broadus was sentenced to 200 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release.<\/p>\n<p>According to documents in the case, Broadus distributed controlled substances in June and September 2024. A search warrant executed at his residence resulted in the recovery of methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine, three firearms, ammunition, body armor, and a large amount of U.S. currency. As a convicted felon, Broadus was prohibited from possessing the firearms, and he illegally possessed the firearms in furtherance of his drug trafficking offense.<\/p>\n<p>This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration with assistance from the Fort Wayne Police Department.  The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Justin C. Sheridan.<\/p>\n<p><em>This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
