On Saturday night about midnight Sheriff's Investigator Pat Trolinger was contacted by Seminole County Deputy Lee Owens. Deputy Owens asked for help in locating a burglary suspect, Steven Bradley, who was reported to be staying with Kameron Gardner in Brinson.
They proceeded to Kameron Gardner's Hatcher Road residence where they found Steven Bradley coming out from under the porch of the home. The investigators explained to Kameron Gardner why they were there and received written permission to search the home for stolen firearms.
Investigators searched Steven Bradley's bedroom where they found items commonly used to manufacture methamphetamine, such as numerous tank fittings, a fertilizer container containing a by-pass liquid and Coleman camp fuel. Also, lying on the bed, was energizer lithium batteries, another common item used to manufacture meth.
Investigator Trolinger asked Steven Bradley if the container was an active cook because of the extreme danger to all that it would be. Mr Bradley stated that it was only a pill wash from a recent cook. He stated the meth was stored in a shed in a black container.
In the black container, Investigators found methamphetamine and hypodermic needles. 26 year old Steven Ray Bradley of Bradley Road in Colquitt was charged with possession of meth and manufacturing methamphetamine.
