Disturbance Leads to Narcotics Arrest

(February 2, 2023)- On February 1, 2023, at approximately 12:40 a.m., officers from the Cape Coral Police Department responded to a call for service at 2800 Yellow Creek Loop in reference to a disturbance in progress.

The call notes stated a male described as a heavy-built, white male with a beard was in a physical altercation with another male on the scene. The witnesses also noted this male allegedly brandished a handgun during the dispute.

Officers arrived at the scene and contacted a male matching the description, later identified as Bryant Keith Redfield (W/M 05-09-1982, 4820 Bayline Drive, North Fort Myers). Witnesses on the scene stated the male still had the handgun in his possession, so Mr. Redfield was immediately detained. Witnesses also said narcotics were inside of his vehicle, which he arrived in. A pat-down of Mr. Redfield revealed the loaded handgun in question, which was in his pocket. Cape Coral Police Dispatch confirmed Mr. Redfield was, in fact, a convicted felon, and he should not have weapons. A white powdery substance which field tested positive for the presence of suspect Cocaine was also located inside his pants pocket. 

A search of the immediate driver’s side area of Mr. Redfield’s vehicle, which he was seen sitting in during the officer’s initial encounter, revealed numerous amounts of illegal narcotics, scales, baggies, ammunition, glass pipes with residue, and rifle ammunition.

Mr. Redfield was subsequently transported to Lee County Jail.

Mr. Redfield was charged with the following:

*Possession of Firearm by a Convicted Felon, F.S.S. 790.23(1)(a).
