Seatbelt violation leads to multiple felony charges

Around 10:30 Monday night, Trooper Justin Smith was patrolling on I-65 near the Sellersburg exit when he stopped a driver for not wearing his seatbelt. The traffic stop soon turned into a more in-depth investigation after the driver, later identified as Bradley M. Randall, 38, of Madison, continued to drive for approximately two miles before pulling over and provided false information on his identity multiple times.  

As the investigation continued, Trooper Smith learned that Randall was listed as a lifetime Habitual Traffic Offender (HTV) and was also wanted out of Jefferson County, Indiana for possession of methamphetamine. Further investigation revealed approximately 3.6 ounces of suspected methamphetamine in the car.  

Bradley Randall was arrested and taken to the Clark County Jail without further incident. Randall is charged with the following: 

  1.  Possession of Methamphetamine - Level 3 Felony 
  2.  Dealing in Methamphetamine - Level 3 Felony
  3.  HTV (Lifetime) with prior arrest -Level 5 Felony 
  4. False Informing - Level 6 Felony 
  5. Possession of Methamphetamine (Warrant) - Level 3 Felony
