REAL POLICE BODYCAM footage captures the complex multi-location investigation following a drug trafficking suspect's flight in La Crosse. This bodycam video documents how a residential welfare check, K-9 unit deployment, and coordinated arrests demonstrate the comprehensive law enforcement response to methamphetamine distribution. In this police bodycam footage, a woman identified as Chantel provides critical information about a concerning situation at her residence: "I live at 1244. In the back. Door was ajar when I got here, and I'm getting no answer, but I'm getting a pretty strong smell from in there, but that's about that." This report of suspicious circumstances, captured on the bodycam at timestamp 31:22, suggests possible unauthorized entry into her home potentially connected to the ongoing drug investigation. Later footage at timestamp 36:12 shows an officer detailing the serious drug charges stemming from the investigation: "Um, so you have possession of weed, right? Possession of methamphetamine and possession of cocaine." The officer acknowledges some uncertainty about specific legal classifications: "Okay. I- I don't know what the, the exact charges are." This exchange, recorded on police bodycam, documents the substantial narcotics evidence discovered during the operation. The final segment at timestamp 38:52 reveals the coordination of multiple specialized units as an officer confirms: "All right. I'll park it, give you the keys. You're gonna take her to jail then? Sure." A K-9 handler then explains their rapid response to the pursuit: "I have no idea what's going on, so- literally just saw on the call screen a guy running, so I thought, 'Well, maybe I could use my dog.' Yeah. And that was that. So I don't know, I have no idea what else is going on." This candid admission, captured on bodycam, demonstrates how quickly specialized units deploy to support ongoing operations even with limited initial information. According to police reports, this February 3, 2023 incident began when an inmate informant arranged a drug buy with 43-year-old Drae Shaun Broadnax. After fleeing from a high-risk traffic stop, Broadnax abandoned his vehicle with a female passenger still inside before being apprehended in a garage. A search of the abandoned vehicle revealed 56.4 grams of methamphetamine, 7.5 grams of cocaine, 5.3 grams of marijuana, and substantial cash. This police bodycam footage highlights the multifaceted nature of major drug trafficking investigations, often involving residential locations, specialized units, and coordinated arrests across multiple scenes following vehicle and foot pursuits.
