Bryson faced similar charges in Clark County Municipal Court. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and his bond was set at $100,000.
The municipal court charges were dropped after he was indicted, court records show. However, Bryson is still being held at the Clark County Jail since he faces the new charges.
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office began their investigation on May 30 when they conducted a search warrant. The investigators had to breach the door, according to the affidavit filed with the charges.
“When making entry into the residence with the assistance of the dog warden due to two aggressive dogs within the residence, investigators located manufacturing material for crack cocaine,” the affidavit says. “The materials included a pyrex dish, creatine, white rock-like substance (crack cocaine) clear baggies, razor blades and scales.

The affidavit says deputies reported that Bryson admitted to trafficking crack cocaine to supply a woman’s drug addiction.
“He also stated that if he was not going to be incarcerated that he was going back to North Carolina tonight,” the affidavit says.
It was this comment to investigators that prompted the Clark County Prosecutor’s Office to attend Bryson’s municipal court arraignment where they requested his bond be set at $200,000. Clark County Municipal Court Judge Thomas Trempe set the bond at $100,000.
A next court date in the case was not set.
