Now he’s in a new kind of trouble.
Brown was the target of an undercover operation by the Kansas City Police Department’s Narcotics Unit. According to these court documents filed by the Jackson County prosecutor, Brown is charged with three counts of possession with intent to sell crack, possession of marijuana and resisting arrest for allegedly running from the arresting officers.
The probable cause statement claims that Brown sold crack to undercover narcotics officers on June 12, June 13 and June 18. He was allegedly selling at 2504 East 9th Street, 11th and Brooklyn, and the intersection of Independence Avenue and Prospect. Police say they recovered 1.1 grams of “beige rock” when they arrested Brown on June 18. The Street Narcotics Unit spent a total of $130 of the unit’s “buy money” on crack from Brown.
During his murder trial, Brown’s father, the Rev. Keith Brown, maintained his son’s innocence and rounded up a dozen young witnesses to testify on his son’s behalf. When contacted about his son’s newest arrest, Brown said of his son, “Yeah, but he’s out.”
Brown added only, “I’ll know once I find out what’s going on, and I’ll share my thoughts with you at that time.” – Nadia Pflaum

Rev. Keith, I want to commend you for acknowledging that your son is on the path of the fool. I pray that you will see his heart turned toward God. Love him, but don't let him manipulate you into thinking that he hasn't done anything wrong. Proverbs is the best place to look for how to treat a foolish son. I'm glad you explained what your comments meant.
Be wise!
Just want to say that I Love the Brown family and that you are always in my heart and my prayers. As you have always taught us "if GOD be for you, who can be against you"
As the Father of Jawanza Brown, I find it imperative that I make a few comments about his latest ordeal, especially in light of the current article and comments contributed to me by Nadia Pflaum.
Ms. Pflaum contacted me at work informing me that she heard that Jawanza had been arrested for selling drugs. She asked me if I had any comments. I informed her that my son was out, meaning that he was out of jail and once I find out what was going on with the case I'll share my thoughts with her.
From Ms. Pflaum wording of my reaction or response to her "Yeah, but he's out", gives an impression that the only thing that matters to is my son being free on bond.
To be very clear to anyone reading this. I do not condone any criminal behavior, wrongful doing or sinful deeds done by my son. The scriptures teach that "A foolish son is the calamity of his father"! Proverbs 19:13.
With that said, we will go through a legal process and I hope that my son will be able to get the kind of help that he needs to turn his life around and refrain from the behavior and actions that he is charged with. Also, while I'm aware that incarceration may be an outcome, even in this, my hope is that he will repent and get the help he needs even then!
Sincerely,
Minister Keith
