The alleged nephew of Gary Busey was arrested and charged with illegally selling alcohol at a house party Saturday after Osceola County Sheriff’s Office deputies conducted a special operation. The Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Enforcement Team conducted the operation after receiving complaints of possible illegal activity at 3881 Hickory Tree Road in St. Cloud.
The investigation revealed the homeowner, identified as Michael Andrew Ward, also known as Mike Busey, who according to published reports is the nephew of actor Gary Busey, was illegally selling alcohol at his residence. According to Sheriff’s Office reports, Ward does not have a liquor license issued by the Department of Business and Professional Regulations, which is required by anyone who sells alcoholic products. The party consisted of several hundred people at his residence, with reports of illegal drug activity, which has been an ongoing issue in the neighborhood. Ward was arrested and charged with liquor sold/exporter without a license. He was booked into the Osceola County Jail on a $250 bond.
In the past, the Sheriff’s Office has received numerous complaints and has been addressing the problems at Ward’s residence, which includes working with the county’s Code Enforcement Department to resolve the issues. The investigation is ongoing with additional charges pending.
