New Drug Trafficking Arrest for Brady Ann Irons

 

It was just four weeks ago that Brady Ann Irons and a partner in crime were arrested in Florence on charges of trespassing and drug possession. She and her current boyfriend Ted Wright promptly posted bond. Now she's been arrested on a charge of Drug Trafficking, among other crimes, in Lauderdale County. Again, she immediately posted bond. Apparently this arrest was a solo performance.

Just over seven years ago, Irons shot to infamy with an arrest as part of the "Heroin 22." Indictments listed two dead from the fentanyl tainted heroin the group was selling locally, but law enforcement frequently mentioned a total of four.

Also arrested at that time was Iron's mother Candace, but on fewer charges. Guess which one was meted out the longer sentence? Candace is currently serving her second incarceration in the state system and won't be free until December. Will Brady's umpteenth arrest, the second for Drug Trafficking, finally put her away for a long, long time? Many who have lost loved ones to the heroin trade are hoping so.

Irons' arrest is among as many as four this past week involving local trafficking by females. It's interesting to see the excuses of friends and family who compare these charges to a traffic ticket.

How do these excuses sound to any thinking individual? Perhaps like this...

Physician: You're slightly over weight. I would suggest losing ten pounds or so.

Patient: But, doctor, if this were the moon, I'd weigh only 25 pounds.

Ahhh, perspective...
