REAL POLICE BODYCAM footage captures a crucial confession as a drug trafficking suspect admits to possessing methamphetamine and cocaine in his girlfriend's vehicle while explaining she was on her way to pick up their daughter. This bodycam video documents the moment when protective instincts lead to self-incrimination in a La Crosse County drug investigation. In this police bodycam footage, 43-year-old Drae Shaun Broadnax makes a deliberate decision to claim ownership of the drugs found in a vehicle: "Yeah, whatever she got in her car, I'm gonna take, I'm gonna take the blame for it. Yeah." This statement, captured on the bodycam, represents an apparent attempt to shield his girlfriend from legal consequences. An officer inquires about how the woman came to be at the scene: "Did you call her to come get you then? Or did, or did- the other girl know where to get your car?" Broadnax clarifies: "No. Uh-uh. She was fucking, uh... My, uh, my girl was going to my baby mama house." He continues with a crucial detail about their child: "Yeah. Yeah, 'cause my... She was supposed to be picking up my daughter once my daughter got off school. Yeah." The conversation takes a significant turn when Broadnax begins a detailed confession: "Okay. Okay. I'll talk to you again, so. I, I had, I had, I had, um, jumped, yeah, I had fucking... I had jumped in the fucking car, uh, and grabbed, and grabbed the fucking, um, and grabbed the fucking, uh, the two ounces and the fucking..." He specifies the controlled substances: "It's seven grams of powder. It's seven grams of powder." The officer seeks confirmation: "That's what's in the car?" Broadnax provides a clear admission: "Yeah, two ounces and seven grams of powder in my girl car." This confession, documented on bodycam, aligns with the eventual evidence recovery - police reports indicate officers found 56.4 grams of methamphetamine (approximately two ounces) and 7.5 grams of cocaine in the vehicle. According to police reports, this February 3, 2023 incident began when an inmate informant told investigators that Broadnax supplied him with up to a half-pound of methamphetamine per day. After fleeing from a high-risk traffic stop arranged through the informant, Broadnax abandoned his vehicle and was later found hiding in a garage on Kane Street. This police bodycam footage highlights how complex personal relationships often influence criminal confessions, with suspects sometimes making self-incriminating statements to protect loved ones, particularly when children are indirectly involved in the situation.
