DIAMONDHEAD, Miss. (AP) — The arrest of Vikings quarterback Brett Favre’s sister during a drug raid in southern Mississippi isn’t the first time she’s been in trouble with the law.
Hancock County Sheriff’s Maj. Matt Karl says officers are “very familiar” with 34-year-old Brandi Favre.
Karl says Brandi Favre was among five people arrested Wednesday in the bust and was charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and generating hazardous waste. She’s in custody and has an initial court appearance scheduled Thursday morning.
In 1999, Favre, her sister-in-law and another woman were booked with felony shoplifting. In 1996, she was charged with unlawful use of a weapon in connection with a drive-by shooting at a motel in Slidell, La.
She completed a program that allowed her charges to be erased.
