North Fort Myers, FL - Four people were arrested in North Fort Myers after deputies unexpectedly encountered what they say was an alleged drug transaction inside a parked RV.
According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were in the area attempting to locate a person with an active warrant when they approached an RV parked on Hart Drive.
As they made contact, deputies say they walked into a situation that appeared to be an ongoing drug deal involving several individuals inside the vehicle.
The encounter quickly turned into a broader investigation as deputies began questioning those present and inspecting the interior of the RV.
Authorities identified the four people as Robert Braitling Sr., Tyler Brown, Joshua Clark, and Tiffiani Glover.
During the investigation, deputies reported finding a significant quantity of suspected narcotics and related items inside the RV.
The arrest report states that investigators allegedly recovered approximately 116 grams of suspected methamphetamine, along with fentanyl residue, various pills, syringes, and glass smoking pipes.
Based on the evidence collected at the scene, Braitling Sr. was arrested and charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, two counts of possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Brown was booked on a charge of possession of a controlled substance.
Clark and Glover were each charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.
The sheriff’s office has not said whether the person deputies were originally searching for was among those taken into custody.
All four suspects were transported to jail and remain accused of the charges, which have not yet been proven in court.
The case remains under investigation as authorities continue to review the evidence.
