Nathaniel Bradley, 41, Sentenced to 11 Years for Meth Trafficking
INDIANAPOLIS – Nathaniel Bradley, 41, was sentenced to 135 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to possession of 50 grams or more of methamphetamine with intent to distribute.
According to court documents, on March 16, 2021, agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration and officers with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department initiated a traffic stop on Bradley near his home on Rural Street in Indianapolis. Bradley refused to stop and fled from officers with two children inside his car.
Officers stopped their pursuit because of the children in Bradley’s vehicle. They later saw him park in a driveway on Nicholas Avenue on the East side of Indianapolis. Bradley ran into the backyard of the residence, leaving the two children in the car alone.
Bradley was apprehended and taken into custody. He admitted that he had approximately one pound of methamphetamine, pills, seven grams of crack, and an AR-style firearm at his home. Investigators executed a search warrant at Bradley’s residence that evening, and located 406 grams of methamphetamine, 7.03 grams of cocaine base, 3 grams of heroin, a loaded AR .223 rifle, two AR magazines, and a loaded Smith and Wesson pistol.
Bradley was prohibited from possessing firearms under federal law, due to a prior felony conviction in West Virginia for possession with intent to deliver cocaine.
U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, Zachary A. Myers, praised the DEA and IMPD for their efforts in bringing Bradley to justice. “This defendant chose to traffic in deadly drugs, illegally arm himself with a weapon of war, and flee from police with children in his car,” said U.S. Attorney Myers.
The sentence was imposed by U.S. District Court Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson, who also ordered that Bradley be supervised by the U.S. Probation Office for 5 years following his release from federal prison.
U.S. Attorney Myers thanked Assistant United States Attorney Michelle P. Brady, who prosecuted this case.
