On Wednesday, we told you about the elusive Brian Brown who turned himself into police in the presence of his attorney. Well today, he was taken to court - but not any regular court.
Brown couldn't be arraigned in Magistrate's Court, because all the Magistrates were finishing up a 2-day seminar.
But he had to be arraigned, so he was taken instead to Family Court, which only deals with minors and family-related matters.
In court, Brown was read eight charges. The first 6 were all drug trafficking counts for 800 grams of crack cocaine, plus another 307 grams of crack cocaine totaling about two and a half pounds.
Then there's 110 grams of cannabis, 361 grams of cannabis, 291 grams of cannabis, and 17 grams of cocaine, which police say they found in 6 different areas of the house.
He was also charged with one count of possession of a bong, and finally, he was also charge with one count of possession of an unregistered bullet proof vest.
Brown pleaded not guilty to all the charges, but due to the bullet proof vest offense, he could not be granted bail. As a result, He was remanded to prison until June 25.
As we reported, last week, the GSU conducted a 12-hour search on Brian Brown's home in the Faber's Road area - where they found the items concealed inside the house - and outside in plastic gallon containers.
