While executing an out-of-county warrant for a 40-year-old Bloomfield woman on March 8, another warrant was issued for charges of escape, resisting law enforcement, refusal to aid an officer, and unlawful possession of a legend drug in Greene County. Her Greene County warrant was served on March 12.

Greene County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Michael Stanley transported Brandi Lee Floyd to the Greene/Monroe County Line on March 8 as she had an active warrant from Monroe County. According to court records, she was released from Monroe County Jail on her own recognizance on March 11. On March 12, a warrant for her arrest was issued and served in Greene County.

Greene County Sheriff’s Department Deputies Andrew Weeks and Michael Stanley were dispatched to a North Fire Station Road address in Bloomfield to execute a warrant on March 8.

When they arrived, a female, who according to the probable cause resembled Floyd’s BMV picture, answered the door. When asked if she was Floyd, she initially denied. She later admitted she was in fact Floyd. When officers asked if Floyd was at the residence, she replied no and shut the door.

After a few moments, Weeks knocked on the door again. This time, according to the probable cause affidavit, a different female answered the door. When told officers needed to speak with Floyd, the female alleged she wasn’t there. The female shouted into the residence for Floyd with no response. She allegedly became agitated, stating she had just gotten out of bed and didn’t know what the officers wanted her to do about the situation.

The woman gave officers permission to come inside. According to the probable cause affidavit, Weeks located Floyd in the basement of the residence. As officers placed Floyd into a patrol vehicle to be transported to jail, a dog jumped into the vehicle. Deputy Stanley removed the dog. As Weeks attempted to close the door of the vehicle, Floyd began arguing with the officer, sticking her leg out of the car, and leaning out of the vehicle. Weeks told Floyd to keep her legs in the vehicle, but she did not obey.

According to the probable cause affidavit, a male at the scene was cursing, telling officers to get off the property. This caused officers to get distracted. During that time, Floyd allegedly unbuckled her seat belt, exited the patrol vehicle, and began to run toward the residence while she was in handcuffs. Weeks was able to detain Floyd and place her back into the patrol vehicle.

Earlier in the incident, Floyd was concerned about her medicine and wanted to call someone about it. Officers informed her she was unable to make a call about medicine at that time. Later, Worthington Town Marshal Jacob Gambill, per the probable cause affidavit, advised Floyd’s medicine was located in a white purse. When reading off the different medication inside the bag, he came across a bottle of Trazodone prescribed to someone other than Floyd. She allegedly told Gambill the medication was prescribed to a realtor from North Carolina.

Floyd faces charges of escape, a Level 5 Felony; resisting law enforcement, a Class A Misdemeanor; refusal to aid an officer, a Class B Misdemeanor; and unlawful possession or use of a legend drug, a Level 6 Felony.

At the time of her arrest, she was held without bond. When she appeared in Greene Superior Court for her initial hearing on March 14, a surety only bond of $15,500 was set.
