Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested 59-year-old Miami resident
Bradford Jonathan Smith on 1 November 2026 after a traffic stop near Mile Marker
101 in the Florida Keys.[1]Smith was charged with six counts: possession of
cocaine, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession
of undersized mangrove snapper, possession of over-the-limit mangrove snapper
and possession of undersized mutton snapper.[1]He was taken to jail and
booked into the Monroe County Jail.[1]
Deputies stopped Smith driving a Ford pickup truck at approximately 9:30 p.m.
for an inoperable headlight and inoperable tag light.[1]Deputies reported a
strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle, while Smith denied that drugs
were in the vehicle.[1]A search found a baggie containing a small amount of
cocaine in Smith’s pocket and 3.2 grams of marijuana in the vehicle.[1]A
cooler in the truck contained 13 undersized mangrove snapper and one undersized
mutton snapper.[1]
The cannabis component of this mixed drug-and-wildlife case is separately
supported at 3.2 grams, while the cocaine and snapper quantities are not counted
as cannabis.[2]
No court outcome beyond charges and jailing was reported.
The cocaine amount was described only as a small amount and is excluded from cannabis figures.
Whether the photos on the cited pages depict this seizure could not be established from their captions, so no media entry is listed.
