Charge Ammended to Attempted Possession

By Raul Fernandez 

(SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb.) — On June 20, 2025 shortly before 7 a.m., Scottsbluff Police Officers were dispatched to the area of Ave I in reference to a pickup driving onto incoming traffic, driving in the ditches, in peoples lawn and swerving. The pick up was last seen heading West on W. 26th Ave. The officers located the vehicle on the west side of Simplot Growing Solutions lot. While officers obtained the driver’s identification, the suspect was fumbling and had slurred speech. The suspect was identified as 23 year old Brady Radzymski.

The suspect was asked to step out of the vehicle and complied. As he stepped out an open bottle of Smirnoff ice was observed between the driver’s seat and the middle console, a zip lock baggie containing what officers believed was marijuana was observed lying on the driver’s floor board granting officers probable cause to search the pickup. Officers found a zip lock baggie with white powdery substance and several small baggies containing a white residue, as well as a multicolored glass pipe with burnt residue that appeared to be marijuana during the search.

The white substance was field tested and tested positive for cocaine and weighted .5 grams. The green leafy substance was also field tested and was positive for marijuana, it weighed 7.1 grams in its original packaging.

Radzymski was originally charged with Possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

On October 15, 2025 the Defendant agreed to plea no contest or guilty to an amended charge of attempted possession of cocaine and the Prosecutor would dismiss the other two charges. Radzymski will be seeking probation as a sentence, so the Judge Miller ordered a pre-sentence report to be completed before his sentencing date of December 9, 2025.

An “attempt” offense is generally a lesser offense that can still be supported by the same general facts. These are often used as part of plea offer as “attempt” offenses often carry a lesser minimum/maximum sentencing range than the offense itself. Thus, the prosecutor may offer a plea deal to a lesser “attempt” charge so that they can offer you a deal where you would be sentenced to a lesser fine/jail time than if you were convicted of the regular non-attempt charge.
