FORT BRAGG, CA., 7/7/2025 – A Fort Bragg man was arrested Saturday after police allege they discovered narcotics hidden in his vehicle.
Just before 6:30 p.m., officers with the Fort Bragg Police Department pulled over Bryan Kann, 54, in the 700 block of S. Franklin Street. Officers allege Kann had been failing to maintain a lane.
Once officers made contact with Kann, they suspected he was impaired and carried out field sobriety tests, leading to his arrest for allegedly driving under the influence of drugs.
While conducting an inventory search of the vehicle, officers allegedly discovered $400 in cash, various packaging materials, 1.91 grams of methamphetamine and nine individually packaged Ziplock bags of suspected fentanyl, which were all hidden within a concealed compartment in the engine bay.
According to police, the total weight of the fentanyl was approximately 9.5 grams, which equates to approximately 4,750 potential dosage units.
“Given that as little as 2 milligrams of fentanyl can be fatal, this seizure potentially saved thousands of lives, removing a quantity of narcotics capable of causing over 4,000 fatal overdoses from circulation,” the Fort Bragg Police Department said in a release about the arrest.
Kann was arrested and transported to the Mendocino County Jail, where he was booked on suspicion of possessing and transporting narcotics for sale, use of a false or hidden compartment in a vehicle, possession of meth, and driving under the influence of drugs.
