Paul Bryant, Suspected Fugitive in 2022 Indian River County Drug Operation, Captured After Two-Year Manhunt

After a nearly two-year manhunt, the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office has announced the capture of Paul Bryant, a fugitive implicated in a significant drug operation that was cracked down in 2022. In a large-scale investigation conducted in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration, 13 arrests were made, yet Bryant managed to elude authorities until this week. According to a

report, Bryant is now in custody and facing multiple charges, including trafficking in Phenethylamine.

The details surrounding Bryant’s arrest remain sparse, but the sheriff’s office has confirmed his apprehension. Attempts to locate Bryant had continued persistently since he fled, and it was this relentless pursuit by detectives that finally brought his run to a culmination. Bryant’s charges also encompass the sale of Phenethylamines within 1,000 feet of a church and conspiracy to traffic the controlled substance, as per the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office.

During the operation back in 2022, Bryant was indicted for not only trafficking and sale of the illegal substance but also for using a two-way communication device in the commission of the felony. The impact of the drug ring on the local community had been significant, prompting a joint investigation that initially netted a group of 13 individuals involved in the sale of dangerous controlled substances.
