Was Andrew Brown Jr. a ‘Known Drug Dealer’ Before NC Deputies Killed Him?

What's True: On more than a dozen occasions since the late 1990s, authorities in North Carolina's Pasquotank County arrested Brown for offenses that ranged in severity, from driving with a revoked license to intending to sell illegal drugs. At the time of his death, an investigator said officers knew him "to be a source of supply" of such substances for people in the area.

What's Undetermined: The exact circumstances of Brown's past arrests and incarcerations, including whether he ever sold drugs to children or teens, were unknown at the time of this writing. Also unmeasurable was how many people or entities knew him for selling illicit substances.
