An arrest was made on Saturday stemming from an investigation over a downed drone that had been found delivering meth and tobacco at Miami Correctional Facility in 2020.
According to court records, Tre'sean Bronson, 29, was arrested Saturday. Bronson is facing charges of dealing in methamphetamine, a Level 2 felony; possession of methamphetamine, a Level 4 felony; and two charges of trafficking with an inmate, both A misdemeanors.
It was reported that investigators had traced Bronson's location through GPS data found on the drone. The drone had been downed in August of 2020. It was found to have dropped 14.6 grams of methamphetamine, and 7.97 ounces of tobacco in a duct tape wrapped Crown Royal bag at a secure perimeter in the prison. It was later discovered Bronson had a tattoo similar to one seen in videos stored on the drone.
Investigators reported the drone was identified as being an orange and black Autel Robotics EVO. Equipped with a remote-controlled payload release, reports stated the drone had a range of up to seven kilometers.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Bronson was wanted for more than three years, despite a warrant for his arrest issued in Marion County. Bronson was also said to have had a warrant out of Hamilton County for a seperate offense.
Bronson was booked into the Miami County Jail on a $73,000 bond.
