NeNe Leakes’ son, Bryson Bryant, was arrested on July 3 and charged with felony possession of Fentanyl, a Schedule II-controlled substance, Media Take Out has learned.
According to a new report, first published by Radar Online, Bryson was picked up around 1 AM at a home in Lawrenceville, Georgia. In addition to the drug charge, Bryson was hit with a misdemeanor “loitering/prowling” charge.
The police affidavit claimed Bryson was at the address in question “evading police and claiming he knew the people that lived at the residence which was false.”
During questioning, when asked for his name, Bryson told officers he was his younger brother, Brentt Leakes, who NeNe had with her late husband, Gregg.
Bryson was admitted to the Gwinnett County Jail and his bond was set at $5,900. The booking sheet has him listed under Brentt’s name. Someone bailed him out within a few hours.
During booking, Bryson also gave officers an address to a home that NeNe sold off years ago.
In newly filed documents, prosecutors added a charge of “giving a false name, address or birthdate to a law enforcement officer.” The updated filing listed the defendant as Bryson Rashard Bryant with a date of birth of 12/26/1989.
