REAL POLICE BODYCAM footage captures the critical moment when officers inform a suspect of his arrest for conspiracy to deliver methamphetamine in La Crosse. This bodycam video documents the formal notification that follows a drug trafficking investigation, pursuit, and subsequent admissions. In this police bodycam footage, an officer delivers the formal arrest notification to 43-year-old Drae Shaun Broadnax: "Well, today you're under arrest for conspiracy to deliver methamphetamine." This official declaration, captured on the bodycam, establishes the specific charge resulting from the investigation and pursuit. The suspect's unexpected response—"Oh, good"—suggests either resignation or an attempt at nonchalance. The officer immediately follows with a reference to incriminating statements: "And you've just admitted to that. Okay?" This acknowledgment, recorded on police bodycam, indicates that prior conversation included damaging admissions not captured in this segment. After a brief pause, the officer continues with an intriguing statement: "So, um, and I'm pretty sure you can figure out why." The implication, documented on bodycam, suggests the suspect has awareness of additional evidence beyond his own statements. The officer waits for acknowledgment with "Okay. Okay?" before delivering a significant revelation: "So... Okay. It isn't just 'cause you admitted to it." This key statement confirms that while the suspect's admissions contribute to probable cause, they represent only part of the evidence supporting the arrest. This indicates the presence of other substantial evidence, potentially including the arranged informant meeting, officer observations, and physical evidence recovered from the vehicle. According to police reports, this February 3, 2023 incident began when an inmate informant told investigators he could purchase methamphetamine and heroin from Broadnax, claiming to receive up to a half-pound of methamphetamine per day. After fleeing from a high-risk traffic stop, Broadnax was later located inside a garage on Kane Street. A search of his abandoned vehicle revealed 56.4 grams of methamphetamine, 7.5 grams of cocaine, 5.3 grams of marijuana, and cash. This police bodycam footage documents proper arrest procedure, including formal notification of charges and acknowledgment of multiple evidence sources supporting those charges, demonstrating professional communication during a high-stakes drug trafficking arrest.
