He was convicted of the following.
- Distribution of meth
- Cruelty to children, 2nd
- Illegal use of a communication facility
- Theft by receiving stolen property (2x)
- Possession of firearm by a convicted felon (2x)
Judge Brian House sentenced Broadrick to 30 years. He also ordered him to serve the first 14 years in the Department of Corrections.
The DA’s office said Broadrick started selling meth, fentanyl, cocaine, oxycodone and marijuana to a 13-year-old Catoosa County resident in 2022.
The last time Broadrick sold meth to the teen, he told him a way to use the meth to get high faster. That resulted in the teen overdosing in January 2023. The DA’s office said he was on life support for several days before he finally recovered.
“Fighting the methamphetamine and opioid epidemics by going after the people selling this poison is a top priority of mine,” said DA Clayton M. Fuller. “If you sell poison to kids in our community, me and our law enforcement partners will put you in the one place you belong: Prison.”
