Floyd Bradley III
ELKHORN — A Delavan man stands accused of owning a bag containing 16.8 grams of crack cocaine after DNA analysis linked him to the bag left in a gutter near the Elkhorn Police Department.
Floyd A. Bradley III, 24, appeared in court Wednesday, charged with possession with intent to deliver cocaine. He faces up to 25 years in prison and $100,000 in fines if convicted.
According to the criminal complaint:
Bradley was being transported to the Elkhorn police station last year for a citation when, after he passed by, a detective parked by the station noticed a bag in a gutter containing two off-white pieces of crack. The detective said the bag had not been there moments earlier when he’d first arrived at the police department.
Officers looked for Bradley, who had already left the building. Officers found him at an Elkhorn bar having a beer. Bradley denied owning the crack and refused to submit a DNA sample without a warrant.
An Elkhorn Police Department sergeant spoke with a bartender at the establishment and asked her to set aside the bottle Bradley had been drinking from. Once Bradley left the bar, the sergeant picked up the bottle.
Elkhorn officers sent the beer bottle and the plastic bag of crack to the State Crime Lab in Milwaukee. Reports showed there was DNA from two individuals on the bag, one of which matched Bradley.
Bradley is being held on a $5,000 cash bond. His is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Friday, June 11.

krsmith. coke is traditionally known as a rich(white) mans drug and crack is that drug broken down a million times to make a poor(black) mans drug. one could never have seen or tried either drug and make the point that paddy did. theres also a website out there called google that will answer almost any question you ask it.

ha. i wish you were my mom:) jk i love my mom and she would agree with you. in wisconsin people either refuse to admit or completely forget that alcohol is indeed a drug...its more like a way of life and the negatives that come from the irresponsible consumption are just that. part of life.

I want to see DUI's enforced like drug crimes. A Ford driven by a drunk kills people. Crack rocks do not.

16.8 grams? Considering they sell the crap for $100 a gram, that's ALOT. Hard to miss that laying in a gutter. And where are they getting intent to deliver from???

The cop asked him for a dna sample and he left his beer in the bar? Hasn't he ever watched NYPD Blue? Idiot.
