South Carolina Man Faced 115 Years in Prison Until ATF Admitted They Got the Wrong Man

There was just one problem: Bryan Montiea Wilson never sold guns or drugs to ATF agents, their informants or anyone else. ATF got the wrong man.

ATF Police Raid IMG 2nd instagram.com/atfhq/Wednesday, December 13, 2023, began just like any other workday for Bryan Montiea Wilson, a 33-year-old resident of West Columbia, South Carolina, who had never been in trouble with the law.

At 6 a.m., Wilson began his shift at Harsco Rails on West Technology Drive, where he worked as a material processor for the railroad equipment manufacturer. A couple hours later, Wilson’s supervisor found him on the facility floor and told him to report to the main office. Inside were two men and a woman, all wearing civilian clothes. They told Wilson they were ATF agents and that they had a warrant for his arrest. They never showed him a badge.
