THE BREVARD COUNTY JAIL

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sheriff Wayne Ivey announced in a press release today that a wannabe gangster is behind bars on bond, tonight. 

The wannabe gang banger and drug dealer identified as Riley Thompson who was babysitting two little kids when Agents from the Special Investigations Unit Task Force went to arrest him for trafficking in Fentanyl and trafficking Meth. 

The Sheriff says he had enough Fentanyl to kill over 120,000 people -- the entire population of Melbourne.  

When agents executed a search warrant at 1245 Palm Bay Road in Melbourne, the drug dealer immediately ran off the premises and began to toss several baggies of dope and a handgun as he tried to elude arrest. 

Agents and SWAT team members were able to apprehend Thompson and upon search of the residence, they discovered several contraband items including THC carts, vapes, 176.5 grams of suspected methamphetamine, 100.9 grams of suspected psilocybin mushrooms, 13.3 of suspected cocaine, several boxes of THC cartridges, 3 firearms to include a sawed-off shotgun, and $4,030.00 in US currency.

"Folks this is one of those cases to be sure to watch how it proceeds through the criminal justice system because if he gets out on a BS bond amount or the charges get reduced, something is sad wrong with our society!! You can bet I’ll be tracking it because enough is enough!!" ~ Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey 

THE BLAKE MOIA SHOW will also monitor his case.
