A ten-month investigation begun by Murfreesboro Police and now involving the MNPD and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation led to today’s arrest of alleged major drug trafficker Brandon Ostein, 36, of Nashville. Ostein is a convicted drug felon on parole who registered with the MNPD as an ex-con last October.
A search of Ostein’s Broadway apartment today resulted in the discovery of 37 pounds of fentanyl-laced cocaine, guns, shoeboxes containing approximately $400,000 cash, plastic baggies, kilogram presses and vacuum sealers.
This investigation is continuing and is being led by a team of narcotics detectives and agents from the MNPD’s Specialized Investigations Division, TBI and Murfreesboro Police, with assistance from the Cheatham County Sheriff’s Office.
Ostein is charged with possessing fentanyl-laced cocaine for resale, gun possession by a convicted felon, and possession of drug paraphernalia. His bond is set at $1,026,000.
