DETROIT – A federal grand jury has indicted Brock Urian-Anthony Biffle -- also known as “Pride” and “Reggal Jackson,” 40, with possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime and felon in possession of a firearm.
Biffle, who has the words “kill or be killed” tattooed across his eyebrows in a mug shot from 2025, was allegedly well-known to Detroit Police. He has a criminal history dating back to at least 2004.

ATF investigators and members of the Detroit Police Gang Intelligence Unit said when they searched his apartment, they found guns, fentanyl, cash and even a flamethrower.
The indictment alleges that in March of 2026, Biffle possessed the deadly drug with intent to distribute, and possessed illegal firearms -- including a semi-automatic rifle and a semi-automatic pistol. The indictment also includes forfeiture allegations tied to the drug and gun counts.
What investigators say was found
On March 17, 2026, Detroit Police searched Biffle’s apartment on West Chicago. In a bedroom, officers reported finding items that included:
- About 51.4 grams of suspected fentanyl, described as a knotted bag found in the front left pocket of an orange XL Nike jacket
- A KAK, KF-15, 5.56-caliber semiautomatic rifle
- A disassembled Glock 21, .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol with an extended magazine
- Multiple rifle magazines and ammunition
- 86 Suboxone films (a partial opioid agonist)
- $617 in cash
- A digital scale with suspected narcotics residue, sandwich bags and documents with Biffle’s name, among other items
- A Pulsefire flame thrower with an attached fuel canister
The traffic stop that didn’t happen
The chain of events began the night of March 12, 2026, according to court records, when members of the Detroit Police Gang Intelligence Unit were patrolling near Joy and Stout.
That night, officers pulled into a parking lot at Joy and Heyden and saw a burgundy 2015 Dodge Ram 2500 backed into a space, facing their scout car, records show. Officers saw what they believed was a “hand-to-hand transaction” between the driver and an unknown man.
One officer identified the driver as Biffle based on “multiple prior contacts,” the feds said. After Biffle looked toward the police car, he “quickly” drove off. Officers followed and, after a traffic infraction, initiated a stop, they said. Instead of pulling over, though, Biffle allegedly drove eastbound on Joy “at a high rate of speed,” blowing a red light and nearly hitting other vehicles.
Detroit Police ran the plate through the Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN), confirming the truck was registered to Biffle, then terminated the pursuit.
The stolen truck report and the search warrant
The next day, March 13, Biffle filed a police report claiming his Dodge Ram had been stolen. Investigators believed the report was false, given what officers said they saw the night before.
That same day, Detroit Police used license plate readers to find the truck near West Chicago and Evergreen in Detroit.
On March 17, they began surveillance, according to court records. Officers said they watched a man later identified as Daniel Combs move the truck into the back of the address. Another officer, working undercover nearby, told other officers that Combs then got into a 2025 silver Nissan Sentra with a Pennsylvania plate – with Biffle sitting in the front passenger seat, the feds said.
Detroit Police officers then stopped the Nissan and arrested Biffle. When they searched Biffle, they found “multiple cellphones and brass knuckles,” the complaint said. In the vehicle, officers reported finding apartment keys, a scale with suspected narcotics residue and rental receipts for the Nissan in Biffle’s name.
Officers also conducted a field test on the residue and said it came back positive for fentanyl.
Police then tied the keys to his West Chicago apartment and the search that produced the firearms and suspected narcotics followed later that day, the feds said.
Combs, the driver, was also searched, and officers reported recovering a “crack pipe” from his back pocket, court records said.
Criminal history and probation status
Biffle’s criminal history shows felony convictions that included attempted delivery and/or manufacture of marijuana from 2004, delivery of cocaine less than 25 grams (two counts) and other offenses in 2006, uttering and publishing in 2012 and 2025, and felony fleeing from police in 2019. Biffle was on probation for the 2025 uttering-and-publishing conviction and was not allowed to possess firearms.
The Michigan Department of Corrections records also lists Biffle as being under supervised release through Oakland/Troy Probation beginning April 28, 2025, with a discharge date of Oct. 28, 2026.
Biffle is scheduled to be arraigned in federal court in Detroit on June 3, 2026, at 1 p.m.
