In early January 2025, detectives with the Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office assigned to their Cyber Special Victims Unit contacted Rapides Area Drug Enforcement (RADE) Agents in reference to a case they were actively working in reference to alleged criminal sexual conduct involving a juvenile.

Concordia Detectives advised RADE Agents they had arrest warrants for a suspect, identified as Bryan Keith Stuckey, 59 of Cankton, for Computer Aided Solicitation of a Minor and Indecent Behavior with Juveniles. From their investigation, detectives believed at some point in the near future, Stuckey would be traveling to Pineville with the expectation of allegedly having inappropriate sexual contact with the 16- year-old female. 

On Jan. 30, Concordia Detectives learned that Stuckey would be traveling to Pineville later that day to meet the female at a local hotel. RADE agents were conducting surveillance at the hotel, and when Stuckey arrived and positive identification was made, RADE agents took him into custody without incident.  Stuckey was placed under arrest and transported to the Rapides Parish Detention Center and was initially booked for the active Concordia Parish warrants and for Attempted Carnal Knowledge of a Juvenile.

As RADE agents continued their investigation, a search warrant was conducted on Stuckey’s vehicle and agents located 7.2 grams methamphetamine in the vehicle.  Agents re-arrested Stuckey on the narcotics charge as he was still in jail, awaiting extradition back to Concordia Parish.
