Brevard County, FL – A multi-agency investigation led by the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office has resulted in the arrest of 26-year-old Maxwell Horvath in what officials are calling one of the most significant drug and explosives seizures in recent memory.
According to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, agents worked alongside the DEA, ATF, and Palm Bay Police Department to apprehend Horvath following a detailed investigation into alleged narcotics distribution and weapons violations. The bust uncovered multiple firearms, explosive devices, and large quantities of controlled substances.
Sheriff’s officials described the scene as “breaking bad on steroids,” emphasizing the serious public safety threat posed by the combination of drugs and explosives. Authorities displayed several assault-style weapons and boxes of evidence during a recorded announcement shared to the department’s Facebook page earlier today.
No injuries were reported during the operation. Horvath is being held pending federal and state charges related to drug trafficking, possession of explosives, and illegal firearms.
Officials credited seamless cooperation between local and federal agencies for the successful outcome. “It’s the teamwork that made this case come together,” the Sheriff stated in the announcement.
Further details, including the amount of narcotics seized and the specific types of explosive devices recovered, are expected to be released as the investigation continues.
